Experimental Hot Deployment for seam 2.x

[swd847]

I have just release a pre-alpha version of a project that aims to provide hot-redeployment of java classes.

It is available for download here:

http://code.google.com/p/fakereplace/

It is still pre-alpha, so there is no guarantee it will work for you, however it should allow you to change, add and remove the following while your program is running in exploded mode and view the results straight away:

• Annotations (class, field and method)


• Fields


• Methods

The readme.txt file in the distribution contains instructions.

Does fakereplace support EJB3 interface methods add/mods?

[swd847]

I knew that was coming :-)

The answer is not yet, I will start to look at integrations like that once the core class replacement functionality is feature complete. It does support ear projects though.

That's ok, you'll get there.  I gotta keep the pressure on you.  :)

There is a JRebel Eclipse plugin (it would be nice to eventually have a fakereplace Eclipse plugin too):

JRebel Eclipse Debugger Integration
JRebel Eclipse Integration
JRebel RAD Integration
JRebel WTP Integration

Thanks, but it is still very early stages. There is still a lot of stuff that needs to be figured out.
