Abstract

Claims (37)

1. A computer-implemented system comprising:

a computer server comprising one or more processors;

a memory component storing one or more compilation plans; and

non-transitory memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

execute, via the computer server, an application in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM);

monitor, via a file watcher processor, a file change in a file running the application in the JVM;

responsive to the file change, retrieve, via the memory component, a compilation plan associated with the file; wherein the compilation plan comprises: a set of source code and a post-compile script;

compile, via a live compiler, the set of source code from the compilation plan;

create, via a constructor processor, a non-delegating classloader;

execute, via an executor processor, the post-compile script identified by the compilation plan; and

provide, via an interface, an output feedback from the post-compile script while the application is running in JVM.

2. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the live compiler comprises a Scala compiler.

3. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the compilation plan identifies what files to watch; what to compile; and one or more dependencies.

4. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises an explorer script input, a GUI script input and a text script input.

5. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises a script editor and a viewer.

6. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the non-delegating classloader loads a newly compiled class and a different classloader is used on each compilation.

7. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the compilation plan defines when a file changes, the set of source code is recompiled.

8. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the post-compile script is executed to generate a recompiled class used by the application in the JVM.

9. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the compilation plan is defined by a combination of case classes, traits and objects.

10. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the live compiler supports a hot compile and a hot swap of UI views in a container.

11. A computer-implemented method, comprising the steps of:

executing, via a computer server, an application in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM);

monitoring, via a file watcher processor, a file change in a file running the application in the JVM;

responsive to the file change, retrieving, via a memory component, a compilation plan associated with the file; wherein the compilation plan comprises: a set of source code and a post-compile script;

compiling, via a live compiler, the set of source code from the compilation plan;

creating, via a constructor processor, a non-delegating classloader;

executing, via an executor processor, the post-compile script identified by the compilation plan; and

providing, via an interface, an output feedback from the post-compile script while the application is running in JVM.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the live compiler comprises a Scala compiler.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the compilation plan identifies what files to watch; what to compile; and one or more dependencies.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the interface comprises an explorer script input, a GUI script input and a text script input.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the interface comprises a script editor and a viewer.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the non-delegating classloader loads a newly compiled class and a different classloader is used on each compilation.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the compilation plan defines when a file changes, the set of source code is recompiled.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the post-compile script is executed to generate a recompiled class used by the application in the JVM.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the compilation plan is defined by a combination of case classes, traits and objects.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the live compiler supports a hot compile and a hot swap of UI views in a container.
