Release Information
Hot Reloading with JDK8
Support for spring-loaded was added back for JDK8 #11441. To enable:
build.gradle
dependencies {
// Remove dev-tools from classpath
// developmentOnly("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
// Add springloaded as a jvm agent
agent "org.springframework:springloaded:1.2.8.RELEASE"
// (Optional) Native OSX file watcher
runtimeOnly "io.methvin:directory-watcher:0.9.6"
//...
}NOTE: While spring-loaded continues to function - it has not been actively maintained for years.
Detect spring-dev-tools reload
A flag was added to detect if a restart was due to dev-tools or not
if (Environment.isDevtoolsRestart()) {
println "Caused By Dev Tools Restart"
} else {
println "Not A Dev Tools Restart"
}
