The source code for the HotSpot version that allows enhanced hotswapping (e.g., add and remove methods, fields, and super types) was just updated in the mlvm repository. There exists now also a light version of the modifications "hotswaplight.patch" that minimizes the difference to the current OpenJDK source code by omitting some of the more advanced features (e.g., method forwarding, calling deleted old methods, transformer methods). The enhanced VM passes all tests of Oracle's class redefinition test suite and comes with unit tests for the new features.
There are binary builds available from "http://ssw.jku.at/dcevm"; for Mac, Linux, and Windows. So, feel free to install a VM with the new hotswapping capabilities on your machine and test them using your favorite Java IDE. - thomas _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
