If you are really just trying to upload a single file, VLT is probably not the right tool for you. Just use curl:

curl -TC:\main\remote\localhost_4502\jcr_root\apps\vdc\test.txt -u admin:admin http://localhost:4502/apps/vdc/test.txt

You should use VLT for this, but not import (at least not in day to day operation). When you make a change in Eclipse, run "vlt commit" on the command line to push the changed file into your CRX repository. If there's a new file, run "vlt add <file>", then "vlt commit". If you're removing a file, run "vlt rm <file>" then "vlt commit".

I believe there are ways to hook this into Eclipse as some kind of automatically running external tool, but I don't know the details of this.

import and export are very coarse grained operations. commit (and, conversly update) only deal with the files that have changed. You do need to use import when you are first setting up a project. Usually, the first developer does a checkout from their local repository, then an import into version control and then subsequent developers do a checkout from version control, an import into their local repository, and then a checkout to set up the VLT working copy.

There's also a new "sync" feature available in some versions of vlt which runs as a background process keeping a working copy and repository structure in sync with each other. I'd suggest contacting DayCare if you are interested in this.

Be sure to read http://dev.day.com/docs/en/crx/current/how_to/how_to_use_the_vlttool.h tml, especially the section about a filtered checkout.

It depends

CQ supports Java as a scripting language. This isn't as commonly used as JSP or ESP. You'll see an example here: /libs/foundation/components/parbase/img.GET.java

In this case, if you update the java file using vlt, it'll be recompiled (just like a JSP).

If you are talking about code in an OSGi bundle, just updating the file won't cause the bundle to be recompiled. You should use a CI server for this.

I'm sure this is possible. I'd suggest using something like Firebug to capture the HTTP request.
