Even if one-line code change is done, developer has to wait for around an hour to see the output of the changes.

Maintaining application state – Developers avoid the time spent reproducing the pre-change application state after a redeploy.īuilding Hybris project usually takes 20 minutes and restarting server on windows machine takes around 25 to 35 minutes. JRebel improves Hybris development by: Streamlining the development process – Hybris developers keep their tempo and focus by eliminating the downtime of waiting for application builds and redeploys.

JRebel is a JVM plugin that speeds up the development of Java applications by skipping the time-consuming “ant all” scripts that Hybris developers run to compile their application. With JRebel, Developers Don’t Have to Restart Hybris Anymore! SAP Hybris is a B2B and B2C e-commerce platform used by large enterprise organizations to deliver rich omnichannel experiences to customers, from content management to personalization and order processing. JRebel makes developers more productive since they can view code changes in real time, while preserving application state.

Free and open source alternative to JRebel is HotSwap. Problem with JRebel is, it is not free to use and pretty expensive. In simple words JRebel loads the code changes in the live running server, server restart is not required at all. JRebel helps developers to be more productive by viewing code changes in real time and maintaining state. To achieve this, you will need to do the following for all extensions you want reloaded: To recompile via an IDE, set the compile output to where the classes are actually compiled to with ant build. class files for this JAR are in that folder. If someone needs the configuration files details down't hesitate asking.Once you have configured JRebel in Docker and container has started, you should see the following banner during Hybris: Add a remote server to IntelliJ IDEA Open Settings > JRebel > Remote servers. Also had to use the fabulous Maven Copy Plugin because the xslt transformation occurred after the final war packaging and I had to add the resulting rebel.xml to that WAR.

I used the XSLT Generator Maven Plugin to help me merge the various rebel.xml files. This is becoming another issue a bit different of the original question :) Maybe I should through another question. So these kind of properties will not be enough to guarantee that the absolute paths generated on each developer machine in the rebel.xml are correct.įor now, I'm trying to tackle using some kind of maven plugin to do the rebel.xml merge. I'm using maven properties but we've have two different maven multi-module hierarchy that don't know about each other and I can't use a root pom to connect them. But this is worthless for my team development environments. I can get it work if I create a custom rebel.xml for the main webapp that points to all the absolute directories containing the source files (static files such as JSP, HTML, JS, CSS, images, etc.) of the depending web apps. The rebel.xml for the jars modules are at the right places (inside the jar file). Because the rebel.xml it's generated dynamically via jrebel maven plugin when the main webapp build occurs, only the it's jrebel.xml prevail. I have a main web app module that depends on several webapps modules. Kind of.I'm still struggling with the war modules overlaying.

What is a funcional development environment involving maven eclipse and a external tomcat?.

It's possible to over come that eclipse WTP issue?.

Currently, the Tomcat instance is controlled via service (tomcat monitor) and the deployed web apps are configured with a XML located at $/target/app will do the trick). I'm having a hard time getting JRebel to work in my current development environment.
