ZeroTurnaround Releases Latest Version of its Java Productivity Tool

Jrebel 5.0 works like a JVM plug-in that allows Java developers to quickly see any code change made to an app without redeploying it. The solution lets customers see code changes instantly, allowing them to only make upgrades one at a time instead of being forced to revert to lump application redeployment.

"The most exciting part of the JRebel 5.0 release for us is definitely JRebel Remoting, which lets development teams to use JRebel both locally and remotely on cloud-based servers," commented Jevgeni Kabanov, co-founder and CEO at ZeroTurnaround.
