Hi,
 Yes, Gf Eclipse plugin supports directory deployment for Web Applications.
For Ear or Ejb modules, it does not (yet:-)
We are also looking into optimizing a bit more this directory deployment
(currently based on ANT...removing this dependency will make it even
faster).

But the current clear winner is really NetBeans 6.5 nightly builds with
GF V3: compile on save does also fast redeployment...You get the user
experience of writing with a Scripting language (PHP or Ruby or Python)
but with Java (servlet, EJB, JPA, Web Services: save it: it is
automatically redeployed in less than a second).
V2 also supports Compile/Deploy on Java file save with Nb 6.5.. Give it
a try...This is like "Java Script" tm for Java EE experience.
