You are almost there. 1. Build and install bundle by hand first time, then configure dev:watch <bundle-id> 2. Write code in editor. 3. Execute maven install in IDE - using m2e in eclipse or any other way to cause update. 4. Navigate to browser and check if everyting is ok.
Number of manual operation is really small in comparision to usage of WTP. With dev:watch maven install works as "Deploy" command from IDE. If there are some problems then switch karaf to debug mode and check using remote java debug.
