Steps are irrelevant. Time is the question. And if it is really that big an issue, your need to submit an enhancement request for you Java editor that is needs a button to publish (save and compile) the code. And if your CFML source editing environment is sufficiently smart/programmable it could just parse out an inline Java tag you defined yourself, move averything inside it to a java, compile it and translate the cf_inlinejava tag to the appropriate cfobject call. For the advantages on the code editing you mention here, you just need a better code editor, not better server side components.
