Optimize deployment cycle for development

I use Seam3 + maven + jboss7 combination in my development. Would it be possible to optimize the loadup time when I do

mvn clean package jboss-as:redeploy

Currently this takes over 20 seconds with core2duo with an SSD (Mac Air).

In my workflow, it's common to make a lot of small changes and then redeploy and see开发者_如何学C changes. It's quite a big bottleneck with current setup, and it breaks my flow.

1. Would it be possible to do proper hot-deployment over my configuration?

2. Is there parameters for making startup faster when developing?

There is no hot-deployment. I'm not sure why it would be taking 20 seconds either. I get around a 3 second start-up time with JBoss AS7 and my deployment times are around 1 second maven deployments.

Is the server running locally or on a different machine? It could be the time it takes over the network.

You can write custom deployment scripts or write custom Java code to deploy applications as well.

I found about JRebel. It's a gift that I would not have expected to fall upon me. This supports my workflow and makes me much more efficient. If you need hot-deployment, try it out!
