Eclipse Plugin Tutorial

April 30th, 2009 by Lauri Tulmin

Though JRebel does not depend on any IDE or development tools in particular, (besides a compiler) it’s nice to have tight integration with your IDE. Enter – the JRebel Eclipse Plugin. Remember: as long as you overwrite your old class files with new ones, JRebel will reload your changes and cut down on time spent redeploying.

Please see the updated tutorial here.

If you either have just linked (symlink or mklink) the deployable archive folder directory to JBoss you can skip the rebel.xml.

I'm currently using Eclipe 3.5 and Maven2 in my JEE project.

I wonder if it's possible to configure the hotswapping deploying the project directly to Jboss 4.2.3 (I'm not using the eclipse server configuration).

The Struts plugin is embedded into javarebel.jar so that there would not be too many JAR files to include. If you need a different version just place your version of the plugin to the classpath of your app.

The plugins are bundled in the jrebel.jar file. You can enable/disable them with the -Drebel.xxx_plugin=false/true or use the GUI.
