Thanks for the speedy response Romain.
Looking at the jrebel logs I found it was able to pick up the rebel.xml in
the lib directory.
Unfortunately the tomcat loaders doesn't like it as it expects only jars in
this directory. After debugging into the tomee/tomcat code I found that I
could prevent this by adding "rebel.xml" onto the end of
the tomcat.util.scan.DefaultJarScanner.jarsToSki property defined in
conf/catalina.properties. A complete hack, but it worked. Here's the error
I was getting:
WARNING: Failed to scan JAR [file:xxxx/my-ear/APP-INF/lib/rebel.xml] from

After that I found that jrebel was throwing classloading errors as it was
trying to mess around with some openejb classes. I think you're right on
the money when you say they're just supporting the basic tomcat
functionality. I have a contact within ZeroTurnaound so I'll hit them up
and see what their tomee support covers in more detail. Here's an example
error:

Once we rid ourselves of a last few MDBs we could go plain tomcat, but
being able to deploy an ear rather than multiple war files and a bunch of
jars into tomcat's /lib directory is very convenient. However, if we can't
use JRebel that could be a show-stopper for us on TomEE. Our application
takes a while to load (lots of data caching on startup), so JRebel has
become a very valuable part of our day-to-day development process.
Thanks
