Abstract

This paper advocates that de facto dynamic updates of Java applications will eventually require a dynamic-update-enabled Java virtual machine. We argue that our approach for dynamic updates of component-based Java applications complements the new module system planned for upcoming Java releases. We conclude that simple extensions to an existing JVM can bring full flexibility and transparency to dynamic updates in Java.
