Using hotswap for plugin development Follow
The planned class hot swap feature in Aurora could be useful when developing plugins, to replace the new plugin code when it's compiled. I guess the IDEA JVM would need to run in debug mode, but I think that compiling and seeing the changes take effect immediately would be cool.
Or perhaps implemented using a 'disposable' classloader that the plugins run in?
Don't know if this is at all possible, but it would be a very nice feature for IDEA plugin developers.

Hello,
I think that BCEL will be used for hot swap. In any case it already included
into Aurora. And work not stable :))) But it does not matter.
I agree with you about plugin development with hotswap helpful!
Thanks!
