Watch file changes and auto deploy them to AEM

By default, you have to run a Maven build in order to deploy code changes to your (local) AEM instance. Because Maven builds can be multiple minutes long, it's recommended not having to run it for certain (small) changes. This is especially relevant for front-end developers because they rarely rely on the compilation of Java files.

There are multiple ways to achieve this, for example:

• Develop code in Brackets editor with Adobe's AEM Brackets Extension.
• Use AEM Front which combines aemsync & BrowserSync modules
• Use the original aemsync module
