I used it before, everything was fine, but it seems that in running my application as a Java Project and not a Spring Boot Application from STS, it did not force a restart of the server.

I found this:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49386434/live-reload-not-working-in-spring-boot-devtools

“Developer tools are automatically disabled when running a fully packaged application.
If your application is launched from java -jar, you don’t use the spring-boot maven plugin to run your application.”

I have been a software developer since 2004 and have worked in many different languages. I started off using scripting languages on the web and transitioned into Enterprise Java development. I have worked as a Team Leader and independent contractor in this capacity. I then decided to take a break, before changing direction to create apps for mobile devices. I changed languages and focused more on the business and design side of things for a while. However, I'm getting pretty jaded by the new and shiny, so I am going back to what I know best and retraining in all the new Java ways and really enjoying the process. My Java 8 certification was the start, this blog will tell the rest of the story.
