I am currently using kawa (http://www.tek-tools.com)
It's a fairly thin wrapper on the jdk tools (which is, IMHO, good)
so it's speedy and doesn't have a huge learning curve.
The debugger is fine and it's quite easy to get running with Apache and JServ in debug
mode.
You just set up JServ for manual operation and invoke org.apache.jserv.JServ as the
class to be run and you're there.
BTW I have also used New Atlanta's ServletExecDebugger. It is a minimal web server.
The Apache/JServ combination is easier to set up
(html based configuration, a la ServletExec, sounds good until you have to do it) and
it's a full blown web server. Since you have
source you can even trace into JServ itself for dealing with particularly nasty bugs.
