Once done, reinstall the release version of JRebel for IntelliJ:
Access Settings (Preferences on Mac OS). Select Plugins.
Press Browse Repositories.
Find JRebel. Press Install.
Activation¶
Following the installation, you probably won’t have a license yet. Once your IDE restarts, the JRebel plugin will notify you about this. This happens via a popup notification:
Click the link in this popup. The JRebel activation window will open. If you closed the popup, you can also open this window from Help > JRebel > Activation.
This window contains two tabs: Try JRebel for FREE and I already have a license.
Try JRebel for FREE¶
To start your 14-day free JRebel Trial, fill out this form, select I agree with the terms & conditions of theJRebel License Agreement and press Activate JRebel. It’s as easy as that!
I already have a license¶
Open this tab if you already have a JRebel license. You can select one of three activation options:
Activation code – Select this and paste your trial activation code in the text field. Press Activate JRebel to activate using the activation code.
Choose license file from the hard drive (jrebel.lic) – Select this option if you bought a license. We will send you a
jrebel.lic
license file using email. Press Browse and locate yourjrebel.lic
license file on the hard drive. Next, press Activate JRebel to activate using the license file.Connect to License Server – Select this option if your network administrator supplies you with a License Server Group URL. The Group URL is a unique URL, consisting of the License Server address and a unique key. Paste the Group URL into the first field and input your email address into the second. Press Activate JRebel when done to activate using the License Server. JRebel 6 requires License Server 3 or newer for activation.
If everything went according to plan, you should now have a fully functional JRebel installed!
Project configuration¶
The only required configuration file is rebel.xml. This is used by JRebel to map the running application to the workspace. The good news is that IDE plugin can automate this configuration for you.
Right-click on the project node in the Project View and select JRebel > rebel.xml.
A dedicated configuration file should be generated for every module in the project. For more information please see the “Application configuration” chapter.
From this context menu you can also open the module configuration settings. To do this, right-click the desired module and select JRebel > Configure module.
Note
IntelliJ IDEA does not compile classes on save by default. Press Ctrl+Shift+F9 to compile the current file, module or package (you can also find this command via Build > Make Project).
Once you have generated
rebel.xml
, you need to redeploy your application to the server for the configuration to take effect.
If you would like to make modifications to the configuration file, please see the full reference for rebel.xml file format.
Note that when using either Maven or Gradle for your project, you might consider using the respective plugin for generating rebel.xml
(and not the IDE plugin). For more information, please refer to either Maven plugin or Gradle plugin.
Tool window¶
The JRebel tool window provides an overview of JRebel configurations for the active project. This tool window displays a flat list of modules of the project. From here it is possible to quickly enable JRebel configuration for a particular module.
By selecting the checkbox next to the module name, you will generate the rebel.xml configuration file that will be placed into the source tree of the project. For Maven projects it will be placed into src/main/resources
so that it will be picked up automatically during the build.

Note
Please note that rebel.xml
should be deployed to the application container with the application.
Using relative paths in rebel.xml¶
Refer here for instructions. This is the way to go if you want to commit your rebel.xml
and share the configuration with the whole team.
Server startup¶
The JRebel plugin for IntelliJ IDEA includes dedicated launch buttons. These buttons are located on the main toolbar and on the navigation toolbar by default. You can also find these commands via the Run menu.
The first button launches the container with JRebel. The second button launches the container with JRebel in debug mode.
By launching the process from one of these buttons, the JRebel plugin will automatically add the appropriate command line parameters.
External servers and remote servers¶
When launching the application server from a command line or using a remote server, open Help > JRebel > Configuration and select Startup. Select your desired
Run via IDE – This displays the server launch instructions from within the IDE.

Select your desired Java version and operating system to receive a set of pre-configured instructions. Follow the steps provided to start your external, command line server with JRebel enabled.
Run on a remote server – Select this option to configure JRebel in a JRebel Cloud/Remote setting. Follow the steps provided.
You can also find the CLI instructions within this manual: Running the container from command line.
Disable automatic application deployment¶
Open the Run/Debug Configuration for the corresponding application server via Run > Edit Configurations. On the Server tab, set On frame deactivation to Do nothing.
