Provide JRebel-like feature for the JBoss Overlays

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Are there any plans to "upgrade" the JBoss deployment overlay feature in the direction of JRebel? If can be quite a powerful means of accelerating development if the deployment worked as follows
    • Deploy your app
    • Create the overlay
    • Edit/ compile the class
    • Each time the class is recompiled, the overlay is "renewed" (e.g. by a filesystem scanner that copies the new class to the data dir) and takes effect immediately
      At present you need to do a redeployment for the changes to take effect.
