[Building Sakai] Updating component jars during development

[Evandro Pires Alves]

OK, let see if I can expose my humble configuration :)

I have one development machine and another deployment machine. On the
development machine I only have the rebel.xml on the impl source folder
(img. 1) I had to add the include for this resource on impl/pom.xml

On the deployment machine I have tomcat installed on /opt and I have the
jrebel folder too. On $tomcat/bin/setenv.sh I have

export JREBEL_HOME="/opt/jrebel"
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -noverify -javaagent:
$JREBEL_HOME/jrebel.jar -Drebel.log=true"

And that's all. The JRebel version I had last year didn't updated new
methods, but its working know. I don't remember if it loads newly
created beans.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert :)
