JRebel: JRebel is a JVM-plugin that makes it possible for Java developers to instantly see any code change made to an app without redeploying. JRebel lets you see code changes instantly, versioning classes and resources individually and updating one at a time instead of as a lump application redeploy. When developers make a change to any class or resource in their IDE, the change is immediately reflected in the deployed application, skipping the build and redeploy phases and preventing an average of 5.25 work weeks per year in redeploys. JRebel won 3 awards for innovation in 2011.

LiveRebel: LiveRebel is a Java EE server management tool, designed for making automated, instant updates to Java applications in production without server downtime. LiveRebel is Java-based server application that supports the management of various servlet containers, application servers, and Java technologies. LiveRebel is also scriptable via a bundled command-line interface (CLI) tool.
