Apparently springloaded 1.1.5 was released to Maven Central with a
different groupId than to repo.spring.io. It would have worked in
milestones because the repository was declared.
See gh-648
Requires Loaded 1.1.5 (or better).
For Maven you can just add springloaded to the dependencies of the
spring-boot plugin (and also set MAVEN_OPTS=-noverify).
For Gradle add springloaded to the build dependencies (-noverify
can be added by the plugin).
In both cases there is also support for adding an arbitrary java agent
via configuration. Samples are provided in
spring-boot-sample-[simple,web-ui].
The ApplicationPlugin is only added if there is no JavaExec task
already present, and additionally it computes its own man class if
none is provided. So "gradle run" and "gradle bootRun" look
superficially similar, but "bootRun" has extra options, including
the agent and Loaded support.
Fixes gh-251, gh-183
Usage:
$ gradle bootRun
...
Edit files in src/main/resources and see the changes live in a web app
(e.g. static resources in /static).
The old functionality of bootRun has been replaced (since it didn't add
a lot of value and also didn't expose any JMV argument setters of anything).
This new feature set is backed by any existing "run" task configuration.
In addition autodetects a main class if there is one in the project
sources, so no need for mainClassName = '...' in build.gradle.
Applies the 'application' plugin (so no need to declare that either).
Fixes gh-225
