We have finished working on JavaRebel features for the 1.0 release and will now focus on fixing the last issues. The first release candidate includes the following changes as compared to the previous milestone:

• Reflection support. Methods added to classes will be properly visible via the Reflection API under Java 5+.
• Eclipse PDE support. Plugin code can now be reloaded using JavaRebel. See this post and screencast for details. Instructions are in the installation manual.
• IntelliJ IDEA plugin development support. Plugin code can now be reloaded using JavaRebel. Instructions are in the installation manual.
• Java EE container support. We now support Orion and Caucho Resin under Java 5. Instructions are in the installation manual.
• Custom classloader support. If JavaRebel doesn’t officially support your container or you use a custom classloader there is a good chance it will work now. See this article for details.
