With xwiki-debug-* you modify a .java source, you click a button and you're done (no round-trips to the shell, double-checks, or whatever) And IntelliJ looks to be also blazing fast wrt Eclipse. This workflow takes less than 20 secs on my laptop (including XWiki startup time). Btw, I am curious to know what is your development workflow. What do you do if you want to change something in, let's say, the xwiki-rest-server module? Maybe we can improve even more.
