I have to restart the development server anytime I make changes to a servlet. Is there a way I can make it so I don't have to do this? Restarting the dev app server takes about 20 seconds for my project.

A: 

AFAIK, Hot deployment is not supported as of now.

I haven't used Google App Engine, but would hot *swapping* work? Clearly not a panacaea, as you can't make any schema changes, but maybe better than nothing.

@Kirk What do you mean by hot swapping? If I replace the *.class files in my build dir there is no change, is that what you mean?

A: 

I was using the netbeans plugin, and once I moved over to using the Eclipse plugin, I no longer had to restart the server every change.
