Restarting the JVM

[danperetz]

Hi, Is there a possability to add an ability to restart the JVM or create a jar hot replacement? The reason I'm asking is because I'm working with node-red and if I'm replacing a jar I need to restart the proccess - something that I can't do in a production environment.

Thanks, Dan

According to Java specification and, AFAIK both Oracle and OpenJDK implementations, there's no way to fully unload the JVM from a process. Since one process can have only one JVM loaded, this implicates that JVM restart without restarting the whole process is impossible.
