Yes, I could do what I need, thank you:
- For priority: EventClient and listen to JobPriorityModEvent
- "Static" attributes: JGDI
- "Static" attributes set within job itself: polling job context with JGDI

qalter -p 1024 <job id>
This is the one I am talking about (we use it as quick and dirty way to get
on top of the wait queue, we don't really care about the nice value)
By the way, I can't find the right way to implement the equivalent to
"qalter -p" using JGDI...
If I do this:
final Job job = jgdi.getJob(jobId);
job.setPriority(1024 + newPriority);
jgdi.updateJob(job);
I get:
com.sun.grid.jgdi.JGDIException: jnicoulaud@cluster sets job functional
ticket share of job 6651842.1 to 0
jnicoulaud@cluster sets override tickets of job 6651842 to 0
jnicoulaud@cluster sets scheduling priority of job 6651842 to 288
jnicoulaud@cluster sets job share of job 6651842 to 0
jnicoulaud@cluster sets job advance reservation of job 6651842 to 0
job rejected: the user "jnicoulaud" is no deadline initiation user
So its looks like it is attempting to update more job fields than intended,
but I cannot find a more fine-grained API than updateJob()...
