Answer 1

I am using the paid version of IntelliJ 2020.2

I wanted a simple thing - Start my Spring Boot application and then start my Angular application. I tried the 'Run Another Configuration' way and it did not work. I faced the same issue as faced by @AxelFontaine.

The Multirun plugin solved my problem. I did have to restart the IDE twice - once to update it after plugin installed and the second time because there was an error saving some configuration. But since then its working just as expected. This is very helpful as I can work on the UI and see the changes immediately and similarly the Spring dev tools lets me change code and it reloads immediately. This plugin is very very helpful.
