I've been trying out JavaRebel for some time now. It works like a charm if you take into account its features/limitations while developing.
Now Zeroturnaround is changing it's pricing/licecing model . Until March 9 2009 you can still buy perpetual licences for $100. Those licenses will still be in effect after that date but you can not buy new perpetual licenses after that date. They will only offer annual licenses.
Since I still had'nt bought JavaRebel I just went out and did it. Now I am a owner of JavaRebel perpetual license and just hoping that Zeroturnaround will not do some kind of draconian licensing stunt. The perpetual license does include updates but they could just release a new product instead.
PS: Like me, Zeroturnaround is of Estonian origin. On pure technical merits I would call the innovation of JavaRebel on par with Skype . This is just an amazing product that the big ones (Sun/IBM/...) have omitted.

We don't pull stunts :) This change actually didn't do anything for our current users, only future ones. I think the practice of charging for upgrades is way more dishonest.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the writeup, if you're in Tartu sometime we can grab a beer and see where it goes :)
