Eclipse 2023-09: Difficulty Configuring Spring Boot DevTools for Automatic Restart with Custom Build Path
This might be a silly question, but I've been banging my head against this for hours... I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I'm having trouble getting the Spring Boot DevTools to recognize changes and trigger an automatic restart in my Eclipse IDE (version 2023-09). Despite following the official documentation, my project doesn’t seem to pick up changes in resources, leading to a frustrating workflow. I've ensured that the DevTools dependency is included in my `pom.xml`: ```xml <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId> <optional>true</optional> </dependency> ``` Additionally, I’ve checked that my `src/main/resources` folder is marked as a source folder in Eclipse. However, when I modify files like `application.properties` or even Java classes, the application does not restart automatically. I also noticed the following warning in the Eclipse console: `DevTools restart not enabled, as no restart classpath is found.` This makes me think that perhaps my build path is not configured correctly, but I’m unsure how to troubleshoot this further. I've tried cleaning the project and rebuilding several times, but the issue persists. I suspect it might be related to my build path configuration. Here’s the configuration I currently have under `Java Build Path`: 1. JRE System Library (Java SE 17) 2. Maven Dependencies 3. My project output folder Can anyone offer insights on how to ensure that Spring Boot DevTools triggers the restart correctly in Eclipse? What are the best practices for configuring the build path to work seamlessly with DevTools? I'm working on a CLI tool that needs to handle this. Thanks in advance! My development environment is Linux. What's the best practice here? My development environment is Ubuntu. What am I doing wrong?
