Spring Boot Developer Tools

In the 1.3 Release of Spring Boot is a new module called Spring Boot Developer Tools. These tools are designed to improve developer productivity by quicking starting the container to allow changes made to Java classes and providing integration with the LiveReload browser plugin to see changes to web resources almost instantly in the browser. Together, these tools have a significant impact on developer productivity. In this video, I show coding a Spring MVC web application without the Spring Boot Developer tools installed, and contrast that with the performance gains with the Spring Boot Developer Tools installed.

Funny that in my only works with Make Module 'your project' started using IntelliJ now, at this point it loses to netbeans. Thanks for the video was what I was looking on the internet :)

Nice video, have you tried using the dev tools when building and deploying a war file without the embedded tomcat? Easy shortcut for System.out is sout then tab ;)

Hi spring guru. Thanks for this nice video. I'm having an issue with the last feature you show in the live reload. You showed how to modification to templates reflected right away after build. In my case when I build it reload the entire Spring Boot, I see that does not happen to you. Any idea why? Thanks in advance.

type "sout" for a short hand way to get System.out.println();
