I've done something kinda similar; using the ServiceMix MicroKernel
you can hot deploy OSGi bundles (which are basically jars) and can
contain Camel routing rules, a Spring XML and so forth.
http://servicemix.apache.org/kernel/

Using the console you can start/stop bundles; it'd be trivial to add a
Groovy based console for doing the same kinda thing. Or you can just
edit, say a spring.xml or edit classes and have your IDE recompile
them on the fly & update the .class files to have the bundles hot
redeployed etc.

So kinda similar to what you're suggesting, just implemented a
slightly different way. The nice thing is this approach deals nicely
with classloaders & reloading properly etc.
