Not using IDEA I can only comment on the Java stuff. Wicket doesn't impose any special thing on the server and runtime environment. Therefore hotswap should be functioning. My experience with Eclipse is that running the application in debug mode allows hotswap to occur, and typically doesn't require a redeploy. I think this is available for IDEA as well (run your jetty using a debugger).
On eclipse my mantra for the day is: - start server in debug mode from within eclipse - modify template or Java code (only inside methods, no structural changes) - see change immediately When a structural change was made, the hotswap will complain and you have to restart the server. >From what I remember of using IDEA is that you also can run the app server in debug mode, and have it pick up changes in class files without redeploy.
