Automatic deploy of new modules in Spring XD

问题:

Does Spring XD support automatic deployment of new modules?

Looking at the documentation, it seems that you need to restart the server to deploy a new module added in ${xd.home}/lib directory.

If not supported, is it in the roadmap?

Thanks.

Hot detection of new modules should be working, provided that you deploy them to the ${xd.home}/modules/<type>/<name> directory.

Please note that placing jars inside ${xd.home}/lib should now only be needed for classes that need to be referenced from message payloads and shared between modules. For all other purposes, it is better to put jars needed by your custom module inside the following layout:

${xd.home}/
  modules/
    <type>/
      <name>/
        lib/
          your_custom.jar
          another.jar
        config/
          <name>.xml

By doing so, new modules (or changes to existing modules) will be picked up the next time you use them
