One thing that's preventing me from moving from Forrest to Maven is
the lack of support for "running" the site - something like "forrest
run".

In forrest, you can execute "forrest run" and it loads a jetty server
which generates and serves the requested page on demand. It also
reloads (and regenerates) the page if I modify it. It's more like a
preview feature...

Unfortunately, maven requires that you generate the entire site -
including reports, etc - which takes a long time...too long if all you
wanted is to see how the new image looks in the page ;-)

It seems this is doable to write using a mojo, or perhaps a standalone
tool using the embedded, but I lack the skills and inner maven
workings to do it myself. But I did open a JIRA on this...
