[Jersey] Proposal: Grizzly-based server for faster development

Hi,

I'd like to create a Netbeans plugin that will enable the use of Grizzly for
web development instead of Tomcat or Glassfish. Why?

* Faster redeploys
* Improved stability (with respect to JNI and memory leaks)

By loading each webapp into its own JVM I am resolving JNI and memory leak
problems normally associated with webapp restarts.

Every time the user redeploys a webapp, I'd launch a new Grizzly instance
and tear the old one down. Tomcat or Glassfish takes 15-20 seconds to
restart. Grizzly is almost instantenous.

One problem: I don't know the first thing when it comes to developing
Netbeans plugins. Would someone be able to help me out in this regard?

PS: See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6333056/running-webapps-in-separate-processes
for a related discussion.

Thanks,
Gili
