Ok, I mentioned my recent video to both @Pete Meyer and @Harsh Kapadia at this point so here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo3aKOg96f0
It's me demo'ing fast redeployment of a Java webapp, something I've wanted for years.

Is this a Dataverse accomplishment or an advancement in Java dev tools?
Ha. No, not some Dataverse accomplishment.
Basically, a guy in the Dataverse community (Balazs Pataki) started hacking around with this in late October: https://dataverse.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/375812-containers/topic/faster.20redeploy/near/399050958
Once he got this working, he made this pull request: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/10088
He was kind enough to do a zoom call with me. Once we got it working on my machine, I've been promoting the idea but it's leveraging basic Java technology. Here's a good writeup: https://www.jrebel.com/blog/java-hotswap-guide
I will say it's a game-changer for me. I used it last week and it really helps.
Nice! I just saw your Java video today, Philip! It's cool that it compiles and deploys all at once!
