How to enable hotswap in Eclipse with SpringBoot 2.2.7.RELEASE (circa 2020)?

Google is not cooperating on this one... most hits are at least 5 years old or using Tomcat.

How can I enable code hotswap in Eclipse (it says 2019-06 right now but I'll upgrade if needed) with SpringBoot 2.2.7.RELEASE (this was the latest version as of a few days ago, but I can upgrade to 2.3.0-RELEASE if needed)?

Solution

  • Apparently this is all that's needed:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
    <optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
