Include following maven dependency in the application.

<dependency>

 <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>

 <artifactId>springloaded</artifactId>

 <version>1.2.6.RELEASE</version>

</dependency>

Automatic restart

Applications that use spring-BOOT-devtools will automatically restart whenever files on the classpath change. This can be a USEFUL feature when working in an IDE as it GIVES a very fast feedback loop for code changes. By default, any entry on the classpath that points to a folder will be monitored for changes.

<dependency>

<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>

<artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>

<optional>true</optional>

</dependency>

This can be achieved USING DEV Tools. With this dependency any changes you save, the embedded tomcat will restart. Spring Boot has a Developer tools (DevTools) module which helps to improve the productivity of developers. One of the key challenge for the Java developers is to auto deploy the file changes to server and auto restart the server. Developers can reload changes on Spring Boot without having to restart my server. This will eliminates the need for manually deploying the changes every time. Spring Boot doesn’t have this feature when it has released it’s first version. This was a most requested features for the developers. The module DevTools does EXACTLY what is needed for the developers. This module will be disabled in the production environment.
