gwt-hotdeployment
Description
Are you working with server side code in GWT's Development Mode and it's internal Jetty? Bored of reloading/redeploying by hand when you did change something in server code? Annoyed when did forget to reload?
gwt-hotdeployment enables automatic reloading of the web application context when compiled classes change.
