Good to hear... I think the output .class files have nothing to do with what you see in the browser. What you see in action there is JavaScript. What Hosted Mode does (afaik) is take the Java code, not the .class files, and sort of just in time compiles them into JavaScript, but I'm not an expert on this. That's why you can use this cool refresh feature and I tell you, we love it, too!
