I have been using docker for a few weeks on my development environment, and it is quite nice, I do not have to worry about config neither I need to run a full virtual machine to just run an application server (JBoss in my case).
However I seem to have gone back to the old days with compile, deploy, wait, test.
Now question is, is there any way to use tools such as jrebel or dcevm in order to speed this up? Further more, does this question make sense at all?
I don't see why it isn't possible. Infact there is a docker-jboss-jrebel container publicly available already. I have not tested it myself so I can't say for sure if there are issues.Have your tried running JRebel? did you see any problems?
