As i am working in Java from past couple of year i do not saw any effort from Oracle to solve the problem of class reloading. Like done by Jrebel

But its a licensed version and cost is very high its very worthy for me to buy 10-20 developer license. Any one know any open source or less costly licensing product which i can use for Hot deployment of Java classes as like JSPs OR JSF so i do not need to restart the server again and again for small Java class change.

Right now i am using Eclipse IDE ,Is any other Open source IDE like NetBeans have this inbuild feature or plugin available ?

Take a look at Hotswap Agent:

  • Framework support - Spring, Hibernate, Logback, Jetty, Tomcat, JSF, ...
  • Documentation how to setup DCEVM and precompiled binaries for Java 1.7
  • Load classes and resources from various location (allow reload of classes from dependent project]
  • Open source and free
