One solution I'm hoping to try out in the future is embedding GeoServer directly in uDig. Both use GeoTools as a base, so can share the majority of the same libraries. GeoServer would just be an eclipse plug-in that would expose the selected layers on the embedded web server. Instant WMS. Plus you could get WFS-T going, and let someone else on their udig directly edit the layer. gvSig supposedly has been playing with 'export layer to GeoServer/MapServer', which for me is a step in the right direction - to edit, style and deploy directly from the desktop GIS. Though not as high in the cool factor as embedded the WMS straight in to the desktop GIS. I’ve thought about this as well.
