How do you reload Spring Boot changes without restarting the server?

Using Spring Boot Dev Tools module we can achieve auto reload. It is a powerful tool that helps developers to lessen the development cycle and enable easy deployment and testing during development.

To enable this feature, add the below dependency to Maven POM file.

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

The below configuration is for Gradle:

configurations {
	developmentOnly
	runtimeClasspath {
		extendsFrom developmentOnly
	}
}
dependencies {
	developmentOnly("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
}
