Spring boot devtools fails to restart the application

Question

I am using Spring Boot 1.5.6 with devtools support. But when I change, the devtools will try restarting the code. Which is throwing Failed to unregister LiveBeansView MBean; nested exception is javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException error.

Stack trace:

I could resolve the problem: This is happening because the spring.jmx is enabled. Even you set the application properties as spring.jmx.enabled=false, it does not work. Because If you run the application as Spring Boot App. It is automatically enabled by STS.

Solution Turn the apring.jmx.enabled off from Boot Dashboard. By select project>click pencil (edit)>uncheck enable JMX.
