    Umm.. you can throw an exception, you can return to previous call frame, you can reload modified classes. If you want unlimited code modification, you can use dcevm https://github.com/dcevm/dcevm

    Hot reloading with spring-loaded doesn't support anything beyond JDK 8. New spring-devtools is much slower.

    When using Java, with say, jib and skaffold, when a change is detected the image is rebuilt with some fairly smart cacheing being done to minimize the build time.

    In more interesting setups, the class files aren't in the image but rather mapped in - much the same way one would with dynamic and then a hot reload - https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.3.8.RELEASE/refere...

    > Spring Loaded goes a little further in that it can reload class definitions with changes in the method signatures. With some customization it can force an ApplicationContext to refresh itself (but there is no general mechanism to ensure that would be safe for a running application anyway, so it would only ever be a development time trick probably).

    And this way, the container can remain the same with the class files being changed underneath it.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing DCEVM and Spring Loaded you can also consider the following projects:

HotswapAgent - Java unlimited redefinition of classes at runtime.

Lombok - Very spicy additions to the Java programming language.

AspectJ

JHipster - JHipster, much like Spring initializr, is a generator to create a boilerplate backend application, but also with an integrated front end implementation in React, Vue or Angular. In their own words, it "Is a development platform to quickly generate, develop, & deploy modern web applications & microservice architectures."

JavaParser - Java 1-17 Parser and Abstract Syntax Tree for Java with advanced analysis functionalities.

Immutables - Annotation processor to create immutable objects and builders. Feels like Guava's immutable collections but for regular value objects. JSON, Jackson, Gson, JAX-RS integrations included

CircleMenu for Android - :octocat: ⭕️ CircleMenu is a simple, elegant UI menu with a circular layout and material design animations. Android UI library made by @Ramotion
