Why is "Zero turnaround time" so important? I will try to elaborate on the subject and give a broader picture about the activities performed during the Java EE application development cycle.I mean the root of all evil: the deployment time. Have you ever watched you fellow PHP/Ruby/Python developers at work? They make a change in the source code, hit CTRL+S to save the source code, press ALT+TAB switching to the browser window where only a refresh is needed and voilà – they can see the result in their browser within milliseconds.

"Have you ever watched your fellow PHP/Ruby/Python developers at work? They make a change in the source code, hit CTRL+S to save the source code, press ALT+TAB.." Actually that's the only way I (and many I know) develop with Java (in fact we avoid the ALT+TAB since most IDEs have internal browsers). So it's not really an innovation. For EJB development, use OpenEJB and Tomcat and develop in any IDE (with zero deployment). |

Big Deal, I do the same thing with Eclipse J2EE, Struts, and JSP's at least 10,000 times everyday. Without regard to source code file type, I hit save, eclipse compiles all dependancies and hot deploys to the Websphere AS. Alt tab to the browser and F5 refresh, Only difference is that in my development environment, I plan my changes before I throw code at the current situation. |

Shouldn;t an innovation like this have come from Sun? Not from an indie shop? What an oversight! |
