How to use HotSwap?

1. Start debugger for your application.
2. Modify some source files, compile them (or Make Project)
3. Tools->Hot Swap

Thank you!

You know you don't even have to compile/make the project - it's
automagically done for you on step 3. Even easier, eh?

One question: why doesn't IDEA automatically offer to hotswap classes for
you if you recompile them while debugging?

Does anyone know of an SCR for this, or should I file one?

Hi Eugene,

One (unrelated) question about HotSwap (or Reload Changed Classes).

What is it that makes it work? I'm on Linux and I can't find any Hotswap related items in the Tools menu. The HotSwap panel when I debug is empty.

Is HotSwapping not supported on Linux? Will it be in Aurora? Should I file a report?

Kind regards, Stefan.

It works for me on Linux. I think you must be using an old build.

Have a look under the Run menu instead...
