Abstract
Improved systems and methods for hot reloading software applications are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provide that includes detecting an update for a software application. It may be determined whether the update represents a change to a class structure of the software application. If the update does not represent a class change, framework metadata for a class corresponding to the update may be replaced. If the update represents a class change, a runtime executable unit of the software application may be removed and replaced. After replacing the framework metadata and/or the runtime executable unit, the software application may be executed according to the update.
