Rapid testing with Forge?

[Zhro]

I've been a long-time Bukkit developer and would like to now get into Forge mods for both server and client.

 

Pushing an updated Bukkit plugin is as easy as an scp and reload which can all be done from a script; changes in code are visible on the server in seconds. One of the first things I noticed about the Forge client is that it takes a long time to load.

 

Is there a built-in mechanism for reloading a plugin after modification without having to restart the client (client-side mod) or the server (server-side mod).

 

Thanks.

In dev you can use the normal java hot swapping mechanics.

But no, you can thank Risugami for us not having a valid reload cycle. You have to restart the client.
