Now days developers have cloud environments to run their code, it is possible for JRebel to configure a remote server so it reload your changes on it.
In order to make this possible some steps need to be done.
First of all, download jrebel from https://www.jrebel.com/products/jrebel/download/prev-releases
Once you have this get it and install (unzip jrebel.zip) it on your remote server at a location that you can call JREBEL_HOME.
Once is installed, your weblogic instance start up parameters needs to be updated to contain the following:
-agentpath:$JREBEL_HOME/lib/libjrebel64.so -Drebel.remoting_plugin=true
Once this is done the server will show something as follows:
Now on your local environment you need to install jrebel plugin for it, I use intellij, you can get the specifics for many popular IDEs here https://www.jrebel.com/products/jrebel/quickstart/intellij, just follow the steps for your ide and you will be all set.
You will need 2 files, these are generated by your plugin, per project module.
