byte swap technologies like JRebel, fakereplace, Javeleon ... etc, can be integrated to make development easier and faster. From my experience with maven-jetty, the whole server can be restarted when modification occurs. This is a bit slow and time consuming. A nice feature can be introduced here, to allow modified resources to be rebuilt. Another interesting project and related is http://gradle.codehaus.org/Gradle+Build+Daemon. I am not sure about the status, but if it's completed it can be used with different plugins as well, making it easy for programers to run application and see changes regardless of the IDE they are using.
