I saw lot of comments for people are not able to setup any open source alternative to Jrebels.

Hybris server startup time can't be drastically reduced, specially on windows where it takes around 20 to 30 minutes(if you also have some custom extension build over using the standard extensions).

Please let me know in case you face any kind of issues in setting up the same.
