Jrebel configuration for WebLogic14 maven

Question

We have recently switched from Weblogic 12 to 14 and in WL 12 we were using JRebel by setting Java Options in WebLogic startup bat file e.g:

set REBEL_HOME=%VIEW_HOME%\...\jrebel5
if exist "%VIEW_HOME%\...\jrebel5\jrebel.jar" set REBEL_HOME=%VIEW_HOME%\...\jrebel5

if exist %REBEL_HOME%\jrebel.jar (
    set JAVA_OPTIONS=-noverify -javaagent:%REBEL_HOME%\jrebel.jar -DAPP_HOME=%APP_HOME% %JAVA_OPTIONS%
    set JAVA_OPTIONS=-Drebel.log=true !JAVA_OPTIONS!
    set JAVA_OPTIONS=-Drebel.metro_plugin=true !JAVA_OPTIONS!
)

But now since we are starting the WebLogic via maven and it is added as a dependency in pom, so I can't find a way to activate the JRebel for our application. Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

To activate JRebel standalone you have two options, either to use the activation wizard or to use the command line tool.

You can start the activation utility by running activate-gui.sh script in a *nix environment. When using Windows, run activate-gui.cmd. The JRebel Activation wizard will open. This window contains two tabs – Try JRebel for FREE and I already have a license.

Additionally, the bin directory contains a script that can be used for license activation via the command line, i.e. in headless environment. To activate from command line, start the activation utility by running activate.sh script in *nix environment or activate.cmd in Windows environment.

$> ./activate.sh <file>|<URL>|<activation-code>|<email>

Specifying the user email is required when activating with a license server URL

You can find more instructions on how to activate standalone applications from the JRebel manual: https://manuals.jrebel.com/jrebel/standalone/activate.html
