Hi Jacques, Sorry for the late reply - it has been a busy May-day bank holiday weekend here in the UK.
I think you have already checked this, but yes, you can indeed modify Groovy script code while OFBiz is running. The script will be re-loaded (and internally recompiled) by GroovyUtil#getScriptClassFromLocation. Although at first glance it appears that GroovyUtil has a PARSED_SCRIPTS cache, so I'm not sure why the updated script is loaded. Perhaps some other process is running to invalidate the cache on file update. I have not delved into the details of how IntelliJ maps loaded classes to source files. I assume there is a mechanism that detects the loading of new classes and figures out a mapping of class back to source file, meaning that once a groovy script is loaded, all breakpoints in that script's source file become live while debugging and will move appropriately following source code changes.
