Thanks! OK, I've got this mostly working with two workspaces, except I 
don't see instructions on how to use Start.java with a different data 
directory - is that possible? It doesn't seem to be recognising my 
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR environment variable.

Also, has anyone had success with any maven-eclipse plugin, or is it 
better to stick to the command line ( one console for geoserver, one for 
geotools ... I think I need a second monitor...)
