Apply Code Changes (Edit & Continue)

One of the cool things in HTML development is the ability to just instantly reload and see your changes, its countered by lack of static typing and a proper compiler but the time saving is still pretty great.

Java has had something similar for years, in Netbeans its called Apply Code Changes and Eclipse has a similar feature which is even more seamless... Just change the code and apply the change. It just works and you don't need to rebuild and restart from scratch.
This is remarkably helpful during long debugging sessions where you step over a break point and think: "what if this line was X"... Now you can just  try that instantly.

Many J2ME/EE developers aren't familiar with this feature due to the emulator environment or complex EE deployment scenarios, but to me personally this is a remarkably helpful feature especially when tracking issues in the Codename One Designer but also within our Codename One applications.

I would like to apologize for the delay between posts, I will try to get back into the posting groove within the next few weeks as we recover from Java One.
