Hi anon <[email protected]>. Jumpstarting development is easy:
1. Use the ./ant create-component task to create a complete skeleton of a hot-deployment component. And after an ./ant build start you are ready to use the skeleton. Just make sure that you load the component's permissions after the startup (in webtools) 2. You can create widgets (screens, forms) without it requiring a restart 3. You can can create freemarker templates and groovy scripts without it requiring a restart 4. You can create request-map and view-map URI's without it requiring a restart The elements of a component requiring a restart is services and Java code (as it needs to be compiled. Adding new labels to the Label.xml files of the component doesn't require a restart, but the cache needs to be flushed to see the effects (again this is done in the webtools component). I trust the above will help you jumpstart your development.
