The latest stable release of the JavaRebel code reloading agent includes a plugin for Spring that reloads Spring configuration on-the-fly boosting development productivity even more. See the screencast and download JavaRebel and the plugin.
For this stable JavaRebel release we have focused on two main themes: stability and extensibility. This includes the following changes from 1.1:
- Reworked core. Thanks to the numerous enhancements to the core JavaRebel can now handle any esoteric code or container there is.
- Reworked SDK. Thanks to the new API and configuration you can now make any part of your application or library code reloadable, no matter where or how is it located. SDK is available as open-source.
- JavaRebel plugins. It is now easy to support custom classloaders, containers and frameworks by registering a simple Plugin. Open-source example plugin, plugin development howto and a discussion mailing list are available at ZeroTurnaround Community.
- Equinox OSGi container, IBM WebSphere and Atlassian Confluence plugins are now supported
See the full list of changes or just download JavaRebel now.
In addition to that we have released a JavaRebel plugin for Spring that allows reloading/reinjecting Spring dependencies on-the-fly without reloading the bean factory or application context. We have prepared a screencast that demonstrates the Spring plugin features. See the plugin installation manual for more details or just download it.
Now that the infrastructure is in place we plan to provide more plugins for the most popular frameworks that enable seamless zero turnaround even when updating configuration or other resources. You are welcome to join our community and contribute a plugin for your favorite framework or platform.
After a long wait we have released the 1.1 version of JSP Weaver. The new version includes all the accumulated fixes and also adds couple of new features.
- JSP Weaver can be used to verify JSP files offline. As an automated task or a manual check on the JSP codebase.
- With special configuration it is possible to load JSP files from the CLASSPATH instead of the Servlet path. Solves the problem with complex configurations where JSP files are packaged in JAR files.
See the changelog for the full list of changes or head off to the download section to get the latest version.

This double release is a result of our active users submitting quite a few bugs. 1.1.4 includes among others fixes to regression that 1.1.3 still failed to fix, while 1.2-RC1 starts the countdown to the stable release of the 1.2.x branch. These releases also include support for time-limited licenses. Proceed to download.
For the impatient: see the screencast and download.
Spring is nowadays one of the most popular frameworks for developing enterprise Java applications. It is therefore our greatest pleasure to announce that with the release of JavaRebel 1.2-M2 and the JavaRebel Spring plugin 1.0-M1 it is now possible to develop Spring applications without redeploying the container.
JavaRebel Spring plugin takes advantage of JavaRebel class reloading to reload Spring dependencies. It supports registering new Spring beans, adding/removing dependencies and adding new MVC controllers and handler methods. These can be done using either XML configuration or annotations.
We have prepared a screencast that demonstrates extending Petclinic sample application on-the-fly. You can also check out the Spring plugin installation manual or just proceed to download.
Although we have tested the plugin in several environments it should be considered a beta release and is not guaranteed to work perfectly in your application. However the plugin is open source and we welcome both your feedback and contributions to make future releases better.
Although this release has mainly bugfixes in the changelog it has a lot of changes under the hood. We have significantly changed the underlying logic so JavaRebel will handle some corner cases without troubles it may have had before. We have also updated the SDK and improved the plugin support with changes necessary to support the Spring plugin we are releasing simultaneously.
Download it right away or check out the changelog first.
