The RIFE instrumentation agent will modify the bytecode of the classes
that are loaded to provide new capabilities that are otherwise provided by
the class-loader.
To activate the agent you need to execute the Java application with the
proper argument, for example:
java -javaagent:/path/to/rife-agent-1.6-jdk15.jar com.your.mainClass
When the agent is active the class-loader will automatically be disabled
to ensure that they are not conflicting with each other. The agent is
packaged in its own jar file which should correspond to the RIFE version
that you are using in your application.
Note that this agent doesn't entirely replace the functionality of the
class-loader, during development mode you might want to make use of the
automatic re-compilation of classes that is only provided by the
class-loader. However, during production the agent is the recommended
choice.
