Provide JRebel-like feature for the JBoss Overlays
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.
