Are there any options/flags I can pass to JRebel at start up to circumvent the splash screen displayed when JRebel starts up? It's causing a lot of mental noise by taking up a lot of space, and is not providing any useful information.

I don't know how I would go about inspecting the options via jrebel.jar, nor was I able to google up anything.

The following documentation page does not provide any help either: http://manuals.zeroturnaround.com/jrebel/standalone/config.html.

  • The URL you have pointed at is the application configuration chapter, about rebel.xml configuration file. Instead, the runtime options are listed in Miscellaneous chapter: http://manuals.zeroturnaround.com/jrebel/misc/index.html As Joonas pointed out, the option that you're looking for does not exist - it is not implemented. – Anton Arhipov Jul 18 '14 at 20:11

Edited, the flag to minimize the banner is available in JRebel 5.6.4-SNAPSHOT: rebel.log.minimize_banner=true

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a special flag that disables only the banner part, but there is an option to disable all messages to stdout.

3 Options:

  1. JVM flag -Drebel.log.stdout=false
  2. Write it to {user.home}/.jrebel/jrebel.properties as rebel.log.stdout=false
  3. Toggle it from the IDE plugin settings

Actually it makes sense to make the banner optional, so I'll file a feature request.

  • disabling all output is also not desirable as the class reloading notifications are actually informative; could you please update the answer with the ticket URL you (will) have created? – Erik Kaplun Jul 18 '14 at 14:10

    JRebel doesn't currently use public ticket system, but the request is filed and linked to this thread, most likely will be notified here once implemented. (Can also ping support@zeroturnaround.com about JR-1636 if it seems to take long) – Joonas Vali Jul 24 '14 at 07:37

    JRebel now allows you to minimize banner by using flag rebel.log.minimize_banner=true This is not yet included in a release version, but is available from the nightly build https://zeroturnaround.com/software/jrebel/download/early-access/ – Joonas Vali Sep 09 '14 at 09:21
