RE: [eclipse-dev] HOT LOADING of JARS

Oliver,

 

  I don't know of a workaround, but, as I have mentioned on this list before, the JBoss microkernel supports this behavior for server-side plugins/modules.  If this (Open Source) application was integrated with Eclipse, your problem would be solved.  As a bonus, Eclipse could become JMX-enabled, allowing for all sorts of other interesting functionality.

Subject: [eclipse-dev] HOT LOADING of JARS

Hi all,

 

 

As a developper of Eclipse plugin (XDE/XT) , I have to exit and restart the eclipse shell each time I want to see the change I do in one of a jar of a plugin because the Class loader load the jars of the plugins at the start stage.

 

 

                                        It's a lot of wasted time to do that.!!!

 

 

Has anyone investigate a workaround for this ?

 

 

Any idea or remark would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

        thanks
