thank you for the suggestion (and reallllly nice of javarebel to make this available to scala devels!), much nicer than refreshing and getting a jetty no-contexts page.
unfortunately, as scala:cc is polling rather than using a filesystem notifier, the latency between file modification and .class update is huge. on top of that, the compiler is quite slow, therefore most of the time, i reload, and the page has not yet changed. my gut feeling (maybe there are better options) is that scala should in development mode on request verify that the timestamps of all files are earlier than that of the .class files. if thats the case, it should block until the .class file timestamps change. probably some corner cases, but this should be enough most of the time. going to find some docs on working on lift itself.
