javaspringspring-bootreloadspring-boot-devtools

spring boot app does not reload despite spring boot dev tools already installed

I already included this dependency in my pom.xml file

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
            <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

Changed to "Build project automatically" in the Compiler/Settings, reloaded Maven projects, rebuilt the project but when I made changes in the Controller it doesn't seem to reload the application (I cannot see changes) though I saw this in the terminal

[  restartedMain] o.s.b.d.a.OptionalLiveReloadServer       : LiveReload server is running on port 35729
Solution

  • have you tried this command in application.properties:

     spring.devtools.livereload.enabled=true

    check this resource:
