change location of generated rebel.xml

[erikkaplun]

I'm not entirely sure how to take advantage of the rebel.xml generated at target/scala-2.11/resource_managed/main/rebel.xml but the way I use JRebel with my project is that I generate a start script in target/start and then programmatically modify it to include -javaagent:... to activate JRebel. This unfortunately does not pick up rebel.xml from where sbt-jrebel-plugin puts it and instead I need to manually move it to project root.

Is there a way to set jrebelRebelXml or equivalent to change the output path of the generated rebel.xml file? If not, could one be added?

The default location of rebel.xml ends up in the classpath, so it should be picked up automatically (this is also why there's a warning in README about rebel.xml ending up in published artifacts).

If you are sure this doesn't work with your use case, you can change the rebel.xml path by setting jrebel.rebelXml to something else.
