Jeff,
We are constantly kicking around ideas of how to improve the user experience.
It sounds like your primary concern is updates and syncronization when running
in Eclipse or another IDE. Is this correct? Do you have requirements for
runtime updates as well?

One of the issues we have run into with previous open source app servers
is the lack of a fast migration path from one version to the next. It
is always an unzip and then a manual movement of the needed app specific
info and server config while keeping in mind changes to DTDs as well.
Keeping a large development shop on the same version of an app server
locally and on our various testing tiers is a major undertaking.
Therefore, do you have any plans or would you consider assembling some
type of auto-update executable, script or an Eclipse type of Software
Updates option to ease this pain between major and minor versions.
Thanks,
Jeff
