Actually, you can share one instance between developers. I was at a place that did. It was kind of insane, but it worked in a 'using a spoon to dig a trench' sort of way. If you can hot deploy ejbs and jsps then you can. I do not recommend this. Just saying it is 'possible'. Boy, I hope some pointy haired manager isn't reading this.
Actually, now that I think of it, this is more common than most would admin. Many places have J2EE admin types that administer a server or servers for a group of developers. This can relieve them from J2EE admin tasks. I still think they should have a desktop setup, but I can see this scenario. Where I work now, I'm the J2EE guru so I put most of the 'yucky' setup stuff in CVS and deploy it where needed on the ant build. The developers dont need to know anything about weblogic other than starting up the script that the build copies (along with a lot of other junk) and the shmem name to attach their IDE to for debugging. I think the last scenario, the one we're doing here, is the best. It has the app server on the developer's machine but the developer doesn't have to worry about all the cumbersome admin stuff.
