known issues

• (Spring Boot): the newly introduced additional reconciling for Java source files which is used to show up additional validations and quick fixes can still cause increased memory and CPU consumption. In case you stumble upon issues in this area, please disable the reconciling via Preferences -> Extensions -> Spring Boot Tools -> Open Rewrite (in VSCode) or Preferences -> Spring -> Open Rewrite (in Eclipse). A fix for this that significantly reduces CPU and memory consumption here is being worked on and is scheduled for the upcoming 4.20.0 release.

• (Eclipse): It still seems to happen sometimes that resource files like the application.properties do not get copied correctly into the target folders after changing those files, sometimes those resource files disappear from the target folder entirely. We are investigating the problem and will provide updates and workaround on issue #929.
