Introducing – JRebel Remoting

Another big thing with JRebel 4.6 is the introduction of JRebel Remoting (beta). A lot of Java Rebels have been asking us when will be they be able to remotely use JRebel to instantly reload classes without restarting.

With JRebel Remoting, developers can use JRebel on remote machines, meaning that code is written on one machine and all classes are reloaded (i.e. when you add a new feature or fix a bug) to a remote server. It doesn’t matter if the server is sitting under the developer’s table in the same LAN or in the Amazon EC2 cloud – all those setups are supported and with minimal configuration. You can find the usage guide for JRebel Remoting at a dedicated page: http://zeroturnaround.com/jrebel/remoting/

New stuff with Spring, Glassfish and more

Other big updates coming with JRebel 4.6 (you can check out all the updates in the JRebel Changelog):

  • Support for new features in Spring 3.1 (e.g. annotation-based configuration)
  • Better support for CDI on Glassfish 3.1.x
  • Improvements for supporting GWT, Jersey, MyFaces
  • Added support for Glassfish 3.1.2 and Jackson 1.9.5

Have a productive day!

Oliver White

The Head of Rebel Labs for ZeroTurnaround, Oliver was turned from a marketing droid into a real boy in mid-2010 when he joined the team. While not a developer himself, he likes to simply gaze at code when not writing nine-thousand emails a day. Back when he had free time, Oliver liked books, films, dogs, large steaks, staring at large world maps and strolling through the deeply-forested parks of the Czech Republic, where he lives. You can connect with Oliver on LinkedIn.
