how does make IDEA automatically deploy the maven dependecies of my project(module)
Answered
assume I have a maven web project, when I add an dependency(such as mybatis) into my pom.xml file and download and reimport, I can see the dependency(mybaits) in maven tool windows, but IDEA don't automatically deploy into my tomcat server, I must put this dependency into /WEB-INF/libs manually
is there any way to make IDEA automatically deploy the maven dependecies of my project(module)?

It's a known issue, see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-124483.
I see the Post(https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-124483),but I don't find my answer that how i can make IDEA automatically deploy the maven dependecies of my project(module), can you give me a clearly answer
If you add a new dependency you will have to reimport the project from pom.xml so that IntelliJ IDEA generates the artifacts again.
I know what you mean, follow your setup, two new artifacts( ModuleName:war and ModuleName : war exploded ) will be generated by IDEA, but the "output directory" of the new artifacts will also be reset to default value.
what I want is two point
1. If you add a new dependency, IDEA will automatically add it to my artifact
2. don't reset any setting of my artifact(such as output directory )
So can I customize the proccess of "build artifact"
You can create a new artifact manually with the custom output location that will include the automatically generated artifact, this way your custom output will be preserved on refresh (and when https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-124483 is addressed).
it doesn't work for me!!!! I'm so tired to ask again and again. could you please give me a clearly answer step by step, thank you very much
follow your step:
1. I create a new artifact manually with the custom output location (its name is "bbs")
2. I add one item in "Deployment tab", named "bbs" showed in followed picture
3.add two dependency in my pom.xml, download all and reimpor, I will see the new dependency appears in my project tool windows, showed in next picture
4.but when I open the artifact page (shortcut ctrl+shift+alt+s), I will see two new artifacts is created automatically by IDEA and my artifact (I created before)
the two new artifact will automatically include the new dependecies but my artifact doesn't have any change
is there any sultion for my question?? it is a bug for IDEA?? my mather language is not English so forgive my poor English
Add the automatically generated artifact into bbs, see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/artifacts.html.
