Good.

Work on a running Cocoon, don't redeploywars all the time.

As with any Java classes. Some use javac, others JBuilder, others Eclipse...
Just a tip: if you install Cocoon jars in the WEB-INF/lib, you can add
your classes in WEB-INF/classes, and just restart Tomcat to use the new
classes. I do it also when developing Cocoon itself, since classes come
before of the libs in the classpath. ;-)
