SETUP

1. Get https://gist.github.com/oleksiyp/66e496343642dc9cafe3
2. install inotifywatch on Linux
3. Change target_host=______, target_remote_dir="$HOME/some_path" or whatever
4. ssh-copy-id $target_host
5. check if glob "*/target/classes" and SED regex in script matches your needs (this works for maven + IDEA projects) from project dir
6. put on server to your classapath $target_remote_dir:
7. press Ctrl+F9 in IDEA
8. Enjoy!
