I do extensive get development in Netbeans for GWT and very happy with
the current setup minus increasing the maxmemory variable every time I
restart Netbeans so I don't run out of memory when building the
application. If I debug the project, I run in the GWT browser and can
do incremental debug updates on code without restarting as long as
method signatures don't change so I rarely have issues with startup
time when debugging code. When I want to test in browser I simply run
the project and it launches in my default browser fairly quickly. To
do a clean build takes about 1 minute 20 seconds on a fairly fast box.
Changing one file and selecting debug which will build and launch
takes 1 minute 30 seconds where startup of gwt browser takes about 10
seconds. I would like to see faster incremental build times when
changing only one file. I work around this by debugging/fixing bugs
and doing incremental updates on the current debug session and test
the new code. This way I don't repeat all the application steps to get
to the same debug state to test the code changes. Netbeans does the
update and recalls the method with the same values prior to the
incremental update.

The main point is I have a very productive and working environment
where I have a war file automatically built by netbeans and couldn't
think of any way to make it easier and I do nothing to mess with the
xml for building and deploying. No problems with you making changes
but hopefully it doesn't break what already works well in netbeans. It
would be nice if incremental builds was faster.

Thanks
