17.4.2 JRebel

JRebel is a proprietary reloading solution that involves an agent library, as well as sophisticated IDE support. The JRebel documentation includes detailed steps for IDE integration and usage. In this section, we show how to install and configure the agent for Maven and Gradle projects.

Using the CLI

If you create your project using the Micronaut CLI, supply the jrebel feature to preconfigure JRebel reloading in your project. Note that you need to install JRebel and supply the correct path to the agent in the gradle.properties file (for Gradle) or pom.xml (for Maven). The necessary steps are described below.

  1. $ mn create-app my-app —features jrebel
