Reloading operations in classpath

[dcramer]

Hi there,
Say I've written and compiled an AuthorOperation, associated it with an Action in Oxygen and tested it out. Then I modify the operation and recompile. Is there a way to reload the class to test the change without restarting Oxygen?

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

From what it looks in the code the class loaders are reused by Author actions and once a class loader has loaded a library it will not react to any modifications in it.
You could try to close all Docbook files from Oxygen and then reopen them. Oxygen tries to de-alocate a class loader once it is not used anymore. But I'm not sure if this would work either.

As far as I can tell, quitting and restarting Oxygen is the only way to pick up a changed class (quitting the docs doesn't do it). It does seem to notice a newly added class however.

Thanks,
David
