Hi

Any chance of having hot deployable jar files so I don't have to restart the whole server for 1 app update

Absolutely.  Actually the inertnal infrastructure already supports it, we just didnt have time to get more then a primative admin structure in place for the EA1.

Its coming, i promise!

how does that work with connected users?

The answer is that connected users see the change as soon as  the change occurs.  All events started after the chnage is made are obtaining their class data from the new deployment.

Whether that is what you want or not really depends  on how you've designed your app.  We leave update policy in regards to the users thus up to the app.  If you wat to punt users and hold them outside of your game during a change, its easy enough to implement that code at the game logic level.
