San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 1, 2011

ZeroTurnaround, creators of java tooling for development and production environments, today announced both that it has become an official member of the Eclipse Foundation, and todays release of JRebel 3.6 includes support for the Eclipse Marketplace.

For years, weve seen the work that the Eclipse Foundation does to support the community, and weve always wanted to contribute, stated ZeroTurnarounds CEO, David Booth, With ZeroTurnarounds 2010 revenues growing nearly 300% Y/Y, were in a position where we can offer financial support to the cause. Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation, added, “We’re proud of all our Eclipse Foundation members. Developer tools like JRebel are great products to help Eclipse users be more productive, and valuable additions to the Eclipse ecosystem.”

JRebel is a productivity tool for Java developers that maps the project workspace directly to a running application. When a developer makes a change to any class or resource in their IDE the change is immediately reflected in the application, skipping the build and redeploy phases. Imagine a situation where you have to restart your computer every time you want to check or send an email, in order for your mail client to do its job thats similar to the pain that JRebel solves for Java developers, though it has nothing to do with emails, explains Mr. Booth, Every time a developer makes a change to the application hes working on, whether its a bug fix or adding a new feature, he has to redeploy that code to an application server, restart the app, navigate to the place where he made the change, and ensure that it works correctly. This whole process consumes 2-3 minutes on average, and occurs as often as a computer-focused business person checks or sends emails. JRebel eliminates that problem. Among other new features, JRebels 3.6 release provides easy access, installation, and configuration for Eclipse users.

Todays release of JRebel can be found in the Eclipse Marketplace, or you can go to http://www.zeroturnaround.com/jrebel/eclipse-eval/ to get a free 30-day license key and more detailed download instructions.

JRebel 4.0 Released — Redeploys Beware

Posted on by


(PRWEB) June 01, 2011

ZeroTurnaround, a Java tooling company, today announced the release of JRebel 4.0, the redeploy-eliminating JVM plugin that allows developers to see changes they make to their apps instantly, without redeploying.

 

With this latest JRebel release, weve definitely broadened our attack campaign against redeploys, the natural enemy of Java developers worldwide, remarked ZeroTurnaround’s CEO, David Booth. According to a recent survey of over 1100 Java developers completed this year, redeploying claims an average of 10.5 minutes of every coding hour, for most developers.

 

When Java developers want to see the effects of new code (or make changes to existing code), they have to redeploy their entire application – even to see the smallest changes. If you had to restart your computer every time you wanted to send or read an email, thats a similar level of frustration, explained Booth.

 

Wed like to enable Java developers to start up their container when they start working, and know thats the last time theyll have to do it all day.” Booth continued, With JRebel 4.0, were 95% of the way there.

 

Our goal is to continue providing tools that benefit the Java world at large, starting with helping Java development to be as fast and iterative as other programming languages, like Ruby or Python, continued ZeroTurnaround’s CTO, Jevgeni Kabanov.

 

Having already prevented over 33 million redeploys for 11,000+ Java developers worldwide, JRebel 4.0 adds some highly-demanded features such as integration with HotSwap, new EJB support for more versions of JBoss, Weblogic, Websphere & Glassfish, support for anonymous class renaming and a dozen new integrations with various technologies. See more details here.

 

This latest version of JRebel arrives just two weeks after the debut of LiveRebel, a new tool representing a quantum leap in technology to instantly update live production apps across an entire cluster with no downtime, no lost user sessions and no OutOfMemoryErrors. ZeroTurnarounds Rebel Technology is used both in JRebel and LiveRebel for making instantaneous changes with zero downtime to applications both in development and in live production.

 

Customers purchase JRebel and LiveRebel as annual subscriptions, which means that they get full support and upgrades to new versions several times per year at no additional cost. There are free licenses available for Open Source and Scala projects.
