![]() In such a case -agentpath is a path to an installation location of the agent for a specific operating system. The JRebel can be also downloaded from JRebel website. As such the run command from configuration file will always point to the latest version of the library. The advantage of this solution is that the plugin will prompt you if a new version of JRebel is available and installs it for you. Select JVM (e.g: 64-bit JVM) and target environment such as SpringBoot 2.x.Ĭopy the run command for a standalone jar and change it with paths to the service runnable. Select Help > Jrebel > Configuration > Startup to display the view, java -agentpath: -jar myapp-hollow-thorntail.jar myapp.war Use Eclipse JRebel configuration view to find the agent location path: This is done by adding -agentpath argument with the JRebel agent location to run the command. In this case, JRebel Java agent is used to instrument JVM to listen for code changes. The Thorntail service is a standalone jar. ![]() The second step shows how to set a JVM to use a JRebel library to detect changes and to “update” the code on the fly, without the need of restarting the service. You can Maven or Gradle plugin for this purpose or create the file manually. If you don’t want to install the plugin, there are other options to create a rebel.xml file. Generates rebel.xml file upon enabling JRebel in a project.Īs mentioned above, the rebel.xml file is generated when enabling JRebel for a project and the default configuration should be enough to make it work. Installs JRebel and then prompts you for updates to the newest version. In basics, this files tells JRebel agent the location of files which should be monitored for changes. The first step is to generate a jrebel.xml file and add it to the project. To integrate JRebel with Thorntail below steps are required:Ĭreate/generate rebel.xml configuration file. For example, when packaged as a hollow jar it can be run with the command java -jar myapp-hollow-thorntail.jar myapp.war The Thorntail service runs as a standalone jar. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any guide on how to do it and this post tries to fill that gap. After I made it run as a simple service I was looking for a way to use JRebel with it. Recently I’m learning Thorntail, which I might be using for a new project. Over the last 240 days Jrebel prevented at least 7028 redeploys/restarts saving you about 285 hours I’m using it at work, where we deploy an application to a WildFly server and it saves me a lot of time. That means different workspaces may have different set of installed JREs.JRebel is a tool which updates an application after changes (e.g.: in code) without redeploying/restarting it. The installed JREs configuration is per workspace.The change will apply for the new projects only. When you change the default JRE, it does not affect the existing projects in workspace.You can pick a JDK installation directory instead of a JRE one, as Eclipse can load the JRE inside a JDK installation.If you want to use the newly added JRE as the default, select the appropriate checkbox.To edit or remove a JRE, click the corresponding button Edit or Remove. The newly added JRE is shown in the table: In the next screen, JRE Definition, click Directory button to locate installation directory of the desired JRE: Wait a few seconds for Eclipse loading JRE system libraries jar files, and then click Finish. The Add JRE dialog appears: Select Standard VM (default selected), then click Next. ![]() Note that Eclipse does not scan all installed JREs automatically (except the default one that runs Eclipse itself), so we have to add/remove other JRE versions manually here.To add an installed JRE version to the table, click Add button. In the Preferences dialog, expand the branch Java > Installed JREs: As we see, Eclipse lists all JREs in the Installed JREs table with the default one checked. In Eclipse, click Window > Preferences from main menu (or shortcut: Alt + W + P). ![]() Eclipse allows us to manage different installations of JRE and doing so is pretty easy.Of course you must have different JREs installed on your computer first (for example: JRE 5, JRE 6, and JRE 7). In practice, we may need several JRE versions for different testing purposes. By default, Eclipse uses the JRE on which it is running, as the default JRE for workspaces and Java projects.
