Spring Boot DevTools
Spring Boot DevTools (https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/using-boot-devtools.html) enables Spring Boot applications to reload the embedded server when there is a change in the classpath. It states the following—The aim of this module is to try and improve the development-time experience when working on Spring Boot applications, and it does exactly that. It uses a custom classloader to restart the application when a class is updated and recompiled, and since the server is hot reloaded it is much faster than a cold restart.
It isn't as cool as JRebel or similar technologies, which do instant reload, but it beats doing it manually and doesn't require any extra configuration to enable it.
