Java 8 was released back in 2014, and with Android Studio 3.0 it is finally supported in Android. Hopefully this will be useful for anyone thinking of upgrading from Android Studio 2.x. This is just some initial comments on using some common and new Android tools and libraries with the 3.0 version of Android Studio and the associated Android Gradle plugin. I have been using Android Studio 3.0 since since the alpha versions, and it is good to see it finally released.
Here is an example using the additional ‘addRebelAgent’ task that I specified earlier, that I use on my Windows 64 machine. Gradle build files, command line, build scripts, etc. Once set up, that allows you to use the environment variable in multiple ways, e.g. However the path is still hard-coded, which is something that should be avoided if possible.Īnother way to specify the path is to use a system environment variable to point to where JRebel is installed. Putting the path to the JRebel library to use as the agent in a properties file allows multiple developers to have their own version. Gradle bootRun -PaddJRebel=true Finding the Rebel Base Then to use JRebel you just need to add the extra property. I have also added a debug message if the ‘rebelAgent’ property is not available.Īnother way would be to pass an optional property to the ‘bootRun’ task to use as a flag whether to add JRebel or not. Now running ‘bootRun’ would start the app normally, and if you want JRebel then use the ‘rebelRun’ task instead. There would be several ways of doing this, but one would be to add the JRebel startup configuration in an optional task. Make JRebel Optionalįor instance, what if you don’t always want JRebel everytime you start the app with ‘ bootRun’? JRebel plugins for IDE’s like Intellij IDEA are smart enough to give you the option of running your app with or without JRebel However there are several ways to improve on this. Then set the property in gradle.properties: It is basic but works fine.Īll you have to do is to add a few lines to adle:
Bug fix: fixed an integration issue with WildFly that caused IllegalStateException during startup of the logging subsystem.There is some documentation on how to add JRebel to a Spring Boot app that uses Gradle as the build tool.Bug fix: fixed an integration issue with Tomcat that could cause EOFException during startup when processing annotations.Bug fix: fixed an integration issue with Spring Data JPA when using Java record types.Bug fix: fixed an integration issue with Eclipse causing startup issues when developing Eclipse RCP plugins.Improvement: improved the integration with Spring Data JPA adding support for reloading packagesToScan.Improvement: improved the CXF integration adding support for reloading JAX-RS sub-resources.Feature: added support for Helidon 2.4.Feature: added support for Spring Boot 2.6.Feature: added support for tc Server 4.0.23 and 4.1.11.Feature: added support for WebSphere Liberty 21.0.0.11.Feature: added support for Tomcat 8.5.72.Feature: added support for Payara 5.2021.8.With support for over 100 frameworks, and almost all popular application servers, IDEs and JVM languages, JRebel works out of the box for almost all Java development stacks. JRebel Seamlessly Integrates Into Your Stack JRebel offers dedicated integration and troubleshooting support for your project - including a library of support documents to help you along the way. Dedicated Integration and Troubleshooting Support JRebel is easy to integrate into your project, featuring support for over 100 technologies - including popular frameworks, application servers, IDEs and JVMs. Maintain Application Stateīy maintaining application state, Java developers can keep their focus on the task at hand instead of digging through layers of code.
No more waiting to see if your code change had the desired effect. When you make a change in your code, it’s reflected immediately. Skip Rebuilds and Redeploysīy skipping the rebuild and redeploy steps during development, Java developers can spend more time developing and less time waiting. This allows developers to see how code changes affect their application in real time.
With JRebel, developers can skip rebuilds and redeploys during Java development - while maintaining application state. JRebel Enables Developers to Create Better Applications Simply write code and refresh your browser. With JRebel you stop waiting for build and redeploy to make code changes.
