Installation

JRebel installs a -javaagent that monitors the classes and resources in the workspace and propagates their changes to the running application. The following types of changes are supported:

• Changes to Java classes beyond what is supported by HotSwap (compare).
• Changes to framework configuration (e.g. Spring XML files and annotations, Struts mappings, etc).
• Any changes to static resources (e.g. JSPs, HTMLs, CSSs, XMLs, .properties, etc)

Starting with version 2.2 the JRebel distribution includes a step-by-step Installer and Configuration Wizard, which will guide you through the installation and configuration process. If you prefer to do everything manually you can check out the reference manual, that has detailed instructions for all environments.
