Ok, so I downloaded the latest nightly build (with the fix for the above stated reading from packaged archive problem) and had excellent results:

This particular line of output:

22:25:46,548 INFO  [STDOUT] part1

Is coming from the line of code in a new method in the HotelSearchingAction class/component.

Pretty cool, now I will try out the @EJB addition hot reload...

[asookazian]

Wow, I'm impressed, @EJB and @In additions to the Seam component (in this case HotelSearchingAction) were hot reloaded as well.

Fantastico!

the stack I used for this test run is: JBoss 4.2.3.GA, Seam 2.2.0.GA

For completeness, here is a partial listing of my Eclipse console (note all the JRebel plugins that do the magic):

I am going to try the Weld, JBoss 6.0.0.M1 stack next.

Anybody please holler, I'd like to see what you all think!

[asookazian]

results with weld-translator below (failed).  I added a method to the TranslatorControllerBean to output to the log and that didn't happen (didn't hit debug brkpt either).  FYI: I'm saving the changes to the local interface and the impl class after the build has been deployed and test case started.  JRebel detects and hot reloads based on classpath config in rebel.xml:

what does this mean exactly? jsf.non_displayed_message

must be new for JSF 2?
