For LaTex there exists a tool, named "latexmk", which allows a "preview
continuous mode", that is to update the compiled pdf automatically. It
is really very helpful!
Because it is open-source: It is possible to addapt this tool for
context, too? Maybe one of the programmers have time for this ... :)

I don't know latexmk, but updating the pdf is a feature of the pdf
reader, not of context. If you want to re-run the compilation when
the file has changed, you can use the mechanisms your operating
system provides. Every OS has a mechanism to watch files. Here is a
Linux example
while true do
inotifywait --event modify somefile.tex; context --batchmode somefile.tex
done

Better:
file='somefile.tex'
while inotifywait --event modify "$file"; do
context --batchmode "$file"
done

When using the "evince" PDF reader on Linux, reloading the PDF is as simple
as:
context filename.tex -- Generate for the first time
evince filename.pdf & -- Open the reader in the background
context filename.tex -- The evince process automatically refreshes with
new content

Same here with 'okular' (it can be configured: so one can decide to not
refresh on file change).

Hello,
In Windows (XP) one can use TeXstudio, the viewer's outputscreen is
automatically refreshed with each compilation. (B.t.w. TeXnicCentre is nowadays
not anymore preferred.)
In TeXstudio one can even make ConTeXt available by assigning a less used
shortcut (f.i. F10) to:
C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat & "C:\context\tex\texmf-mswin\bin\context"
-interface=nl %
Of course assumed that in the folder C:\context\.. the installation of ConTeXt
is available.
(setuptex.bat is provided by the installation.)
Greetings, from Ernst van der Storm (ConTeXt starter)

I use the perl program `atchange`[1] for continous preview. For simple
documents, you can just run
atchange filename.tex "context --batch filename"
For more complicated documents (depending on multiple files and figures),
you can create a automate file (see [1] for description) and run
atchange automate

If you use the editor texworks you can maintain two side by side
windows, one for editing and one for viewing.

Thanks Aditja. Because I have no experience with Pearl: What to do with
this text-file of your link? Should I just copy it as text-file in the
same folder, where the contex files are stored in, or do I have to
install any pearl-interpreter first? Some instructions to get this
working here would be nice :)

Well, latexmk is also a perl script, so if you can run latexmk, you
probably have perl installed. On a unix-like system, you can just download
the script, copy it somewhere in your $PATH, make it executable (chmod +x
filename), and just run `atchange filenme ...`.
