Alternative of Jrebel for Hotswap or HotDeployment in Eclipse

13,222

Solution 1

Class reloading alone does not solve JSP or JSF or any other framework configuration reloading. This is what JRebel offers beyond class reloading.

You can make a search on the same topic in StackOverflow or Google and you'll find plenty of questions like your own. None of the alternatives are at the same level. You may take a look at Play! Framework, for instance, but that will require you to change the technology stack for your current project.

Solution 2

Take a look at Hotswap Agent:

  • Framework support - Spring, Hibernate, Logback, Jetty, Tomcat, JSF, ...
  • Documentation how to setup DCEVM and precompiled binaries for Java 1.7
  • Load classes and resources from various location (allow reload of classes from dependent project]
  • Open source and free

    As i am working in Java from past couple of year i do not saw any effort from Oracle to solve the problem of class reloading. Like done by Jrebel

    But its a licensed version and cost is very high its very worthy for me to buy 10-20 developer license. Any one know any open source or less costly licensing product which i can use for Hot deployment of Java classes as like JSPs OR JSF so i do not need to restart the server again and again for small Java class change.

    Right now i am using Eclipse IDE ,Is any other Open source IDE like NetBeans have this inbuild feature or plugin available ?

    The definition of "good" is quite different depending on the context. See the answer here stackoverflow.com/a/17642585/431270
