As i am working in Java from past couple of year i do not saw any effort from Oracle to solve the problem of class reloading. Like done by Jrebel
But its a licensed version and cost is very high its very worthy for me to buy 10-20 developer license. Any one know any open source or less costly licensing product which i can use for Hot deployment of Java classes as like JSPs OR JSF so i do not need to restart the server again and again for small Java class change.
Right now i am using Eclipse IDE ,Is any other Open source IDE like NetBeans have this inbuild feature or plugin available ?
Class reloading alone does not solve JSP or JSF or any other framework configuration reloading. This is what JRebel offers beyond class reloading.
You can make a search on the same topic in StackOverflow or Google and you'll find plenty of questions like your own. None of the alternatives are at the same level. You may take a look at Play! Framework, for instance, but that will require you to change the technology stack for your current project.
