Re: How does "hot-depoly" works?

[Adrian Crum <ad...@sandglass-software.com>]

The hot-deploy folder is not an accurate description of what it 
contains, so your confusion is understandable.

It is true you can drop your custom components in the hot-deploy folder 
and OFBiz will recognize them and include them the next time it starts.

If you change or delete a hot-deploy component, the change will not be 
recognized until OFBiz is restarted.

OFBiz does not support run-time reloading of components. There are too 
many inter-dependencies to make a feature like that reliable.
