I have a big spring application with more than 1000 libraries. When I do debug frequently not possible only adjust changes without restart, but restart takes a long time (about 5 minutes.) But 1000 libraries remain the same, I have changed only a few rows of code. Is it possible in some way to say to tomcat to apply only classes that were changed? Thanks.
Use JRebel. In most cases, you can avoid redeploys. It replaces the class without having to restart the container.
Note that I'm not attached to ZeroTurnaround, except as a happy user.
