I looking for the current best combination of tools for developing a Java web app using Spring MVC (and Spring) and JRebel. Which IDE (which version, which plugins?), which other build tools (maven, gradle?)? Tomcat/Jetty? Embedded? How to fit them together so that the development process becomes quick and painless.

Has anybody got some tried and tested combinations that work really well? Any you would avoid?

I'm developing on Windows 7, using Java 7, looking to use latest production releases of libraries/frameworks.

Answer 1

As far as I see, what you really want to know is, if you're using JRebel with Eclipse, would you be able to see the changes instantly. So if I'm right about that, then JRebel will do the job you want.

With JRebel you can see all changes to Java code instantly in the browser. Save and refresh! The same is true for your other project files.

I've used it and it deploys your java file as soon as you save it, without even popping up some window which happens when you use build automatically in eclipse.
