I'm using Intellij Community edition I don't have the luxurary of using the Ultimate edition; Hence, I can't install the weblogic plugin. When I make edits to any class file it will not hot deploy to the server. Is there a way to configure weblogic so that hot deploys are picked up.

WLS has FastSwap, which is a hot redeploy feature, although has some limitations, and probably not as good as the mentioned plug-in.
TL;DR:
To enable FastSwap in your application, add the following element to the weblogic-application.xml file.
<fast-swap>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</fast-swap>

As an alternative you can try the Manik-Hotdeploy-Maven-Plugin
Manik-Hot-Deploy is an Open Source Maven Plugin which brings hot-deploy to the development of web applications. This is independent form your IDE or Application server. You just have to configure the target folders of your server.
