The short answer:
Yes, you can.
The long answer:
It actually depends on the nature of those XML files, what your application is doing with those files. Are those the configuration files which might be used in order to populate some application specific structures? If so, then those internal structures have to be reinitialized. This is possible either by implementing a plugin for JRebel or by adding a callback method which can be called by JRebel once a class is reloaded.
Could you please provide more details about your use case?
