Seamless Development: Mastering Live Reload

We all are taught not to repeat ourselves while coding.. Nonetheless we keep repeating the same operation over and over – pressing F5/Ctrl-R for browser reload every time we have to examine the results of our last changes. After watching some of Paul Irish screencasts where he was showing the magic of live reload under Sublime Text 2 I wondered if I could employ something alike while keeping working with my beloved NetBeans IDE. However in my case it wouldn’t be enough just to reload the page when any of watched files change. I need to compile SASS sources, combine atomic JavaScript chunks into a single module and sometimes flush the application cache.

Eventually I found a tool meeting all requirements I have.
