However hot swapping was limited to updating method bodies only, and trying to add methods and fields to classes would not succeed. Since a Java compiler generates synthetic fields and methods for features like class literals and inner classes the feature was even less useful than could be expected. JRebel is an alternative solution to updating classes which does not require a debugging session to be started. Instead it monitors the file system for changes and updates th ... more details

Hackathons typically last between a day and a week in length. Some hackathons are intended simply for educational or social purposes, although in many cases the goal is to create usable software, or to improve existing software. Hackathons tend to have a specific focus, which can include the programming language used, the operating system , an application, an API , the subject matter and the demographic group of the programmers. In other cases, there is no restriction on the type of software being created. Origin and history The word hackathon is a portmanteau of the words hacker programmer subculture hack and marathon . The term seems to have been created independently by both the developers of OpenBSD and the marketing team of Sun Microsystems Sun these usages both first happened in 1999. OpenBSD s apparent first use of the term referred to a cryptographic development event held in Calgary on June 4, 1999, where 10 developers came together to avoid legal problems caused by export regulations of cryptographic software from the United States . For Sun, the usage referred to an event at the JavaOne Academic conference conference from June 15 to June 19, 1999 there John Gage challenged attendees to write a program in Java programming language Java for the new Palm V using the infrared port to communicate wi ... more details
