Hot Method Replace for debugging Java applications

With hot method replace, you can modify your source code while debugging without restarting the application.

If you want to debug a standalone Java™ application and make use of the hot method replace functionality, you will need to use a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that supports Hot Method Replace (also called Hot Code Replace). The installed default JRE included with the IBM® Rational® Software Development Platform provides this support.

When debugging Java using hot method replace, there are some limitations. To learn about these limitations, see the Java and mixed language debug limitations topic.
