JRebel Enterprise speeds configuration, code updates for cloud-based Java development

Perforce Software has introduced JRebel Enterprise, software that promises to accelerate the configuration of cloud-based Java development environments, and that enables incremental code changes to Java applications, eliminating the need to redeploy entire applications for every change, the company said.

Announced August 19, JRebel Enterprise skips Java application redeploys for minor code changes and automatically configures Java environments to support changing Java development environments at enterprise scale, Perforce said. JRebel Enterprise offers the same capabilities of the JRebel code deployment tool, but is optimized for containerized, cloud environments, Perforce said.

JRebel Enterprise enables developers to seamlessly push code changes to remote environments without the need for lengthy rebuilds and redeploys, said Jeff Michael, Perforce’s senior director of product management, in a statement. The company said that, according to its 2025 Java Productivity Report published March 4, 73% of enterprise respondents use cloud-based or remote development environments. But increased complexities in these environments can result in additional challenges for companies searching for development tools to ensure compatibility and efficiency within their own infrastructure. JRebel Enterprise both eliminates redeploys—the time needed to make a change in Java code and see the change reflected in the resulting environment—and eliminates frequent developer-level reconfiguration for cloud environments brought on by dynamic Java development environments, Perforce said.

JRebel Enterprise includes the following features:

Accelerated cloud configuration from three to five minutes per server, per developer, to a one-time, one- to two-minute configuration for an entire Java development team.

Automatic detection and configuration of JRebel agents running on JVMs.

Support for Java 21 and newer versions and integration with the JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA integrated development environment.

Support for cloud providers including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.
