ZeroTurnaround has announced the final release of JavaRebel 1.1. JavaRebel is a JVM plugin (-javaagent) that enables reloading changes made to Java class files on-the-fly, saving developers the time that it takes to redeploy an application or perform a container restart. In addition to changes like the provision for dynamic proxies, full SDK availability, and full class reloading, ZeroTurnaround is offering a free license for bug reports.

JavaRebel reloads changes to Java classes on-the-fly without redeploy or restart including new methods and fields. It is a generic solution that works for standalone Java applications as well as application servers.
