I'm new to the JVM and interested in trying Kotlin for RESTful web development. Hot reloading is a dev feature I'm used to from dynamic scripting languages like Python, Ruby, and JavaScript.

Play, Dropwizard, and Spring Boot all seem appealing. I'd be willing to use any of the above, but I've been unable to get a simple "save file, reload webpage" workflow set up with any of the above.

How can this be accomplished?

  • jrebel is working with kotlin as I known https://zeroturnaround.com/software/jrebel/ – Cortwave Jun 20 '16 at 12:22
  • Sorry, I should have specified FOSS – JRebel costs $475/yr/dev https://zeroturnaround.com/software/jrebel/pricing/ – rattray Jun 20 '16 at 15:40
  • If you are using Spring Boot, have you checked [Spring Boot DevTools](http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-devtools)? The whole point of devtools is to do that. – Edwin Dalorzo Jun 20 '16 at 18:55
  • Yes, I tried Spring Boot DevTools to no avail =/ – rattray Jun 20 '16 at 19:48
  • Oh, and Spring Loaded crashed – perhaps I should file a report / ask a separate SO question about that... – rattray Jun 20 '16 at 19:49

Check out this sbt plugin: https://github.com/pfn/kotlin-plugin

Haven't tried it myself, maybe this is what you are looking for.
