Just read my first message, made a typo. Correction: the JDE does NOT automatically compile when saving, but it would be easy to implement that feature.

Some people have been experimenting with invoking Ant via the bean shell JVM. Some patches have been submitted; I haven't tried the latest ones. You might want to search the archives on this subject.

No real need for incremental > compilation, IMHO. OK. I will play with this. The one thing I think is that for good incremental compilation the stats need to be exposed to the user.
