How to apply css changes using IntelliJ with GWT without having to stop/restart program

Question

When using IntelliJ to write a GWT application and testing in hosted mode is there any way to have a CSS change reflected in the execution of the program without having to stop and restart the application? Stopping and restarting is such a slow process it makes one want to use java statements instead of css.

You can use Run | Update action (Ctrl+F10).

This helped me in Intellij 13. In the menu choose

> Run
> Edit Configuration
> Select "Update resources on frame deactivation"
