hotswap
In the hardware world, hotswap means changing a component such as a failed disk or a failed memory module without powering down or even stopping applications. In the Java world it means changing the code for a class on the fly. Sun has a tool for swapping classes without shutting down the VM in their Hotspot JVM (Java Virtual Machine).
