Terminating mvn spring-boot:run doesn't stop tomcat

Question

I can successfully start spring-boot with mvn spring-boot, the documentation mentions to gracefully exit the application hit ctrl-c.

Answer 1

I've had this problem when running spring boot app from netbeans 8.1 on Mac. The java process was not terminated when I hit red square button in netbeans so when I relaunched the app I always get "bind exception, adress already in use" thing. This is known bug.

The solution was to add spring-boot:run command to run goals of project...

...and also if you get "No plugin found for prefix 'spring-boot' in the current project and in the plugin groups" you might need to add this to dependencies:

    org.springframework.boot
    spring-boot-starter-parent
    1.3.5.RELEASE
