Eclipse IDE debugging - code not reflects new changes


I'm using Eclipse IDE (4.2). When I make a change in Eclipse and try to debug it, the previous version is compiled, but not the new one. To get around this, I do maven clean/build and then refresh the project. But this is very tedious and I need to do it every time I make any changes. Is there another way around this or a plugin that I can use to pick up these changes automatically?


Solution

  • Click Project > Build Automatically once and make sure that tick mark is appeared in front of Build Automatically option.

    Also you have to enable hot code replace options. Click Windows > Preferences. Go to Java > Debug select all options in Hot Code Replace group
