Spring / Spring Boot
Advantages of using Spring boot developer tools.
- Property Defaults: spring-boot-devtools module automatically applies sensible development-time configuration by disabling properties such as caching to false during development; Sets DEBUG mode for web logging group which helps get more information about incoming request.
- Automatic Restart: Applications that use spring-boot-devtools restart automatically whenever files on the classpath change. This can be a useful feature when working in an IDE, as it restarts automatically with the code changes.
- Live Reload: The spring-boot-devtools module includes an embedded LiveReload server that can be used to trigger a browser refresh when a resource is changed.
- Global Settings: You can configure global devtools settings by adding a file named .spring-boot-devtools.properties to your $HOME folder. Any properties added to this file apply to all Spring Boot applications on your machine that use devtools.
- Remote Applications: spring-boot-devtools provides out of the box remote debugging capabilities via HTTP, to have this feature it is required that spring-boot-devtools are packaged as part of the application. This can be achieved by disabling excludeDevtools configuration in the plugin in maven.
