问题
I'd like to use hot swap with my Spring Boot project. Somehow I am not able to make it working by running it in my IDE (IntelliJ), despite of having this topic covered by documentation. I simply run the class with my main method with VM attributes:
-javaagent:/path/to/jar/springloaded.jar -noverify
My question is, how do I make it work? :-)
Further question is how to use spring loaded with Gradle and IntelliJ. I find it quite inconvenient to force the developer to download the JAR manually, place it somewhere and point to it with a JVM parameter. Is there any better way (should I configure my own task which does the job and run it from my IDE as a Gradle task)?
回答1:
You need to configure the project as stated in the documentation:
http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-reload-springloaded-gradle-and-intellij-idea
After that, you must configure your IDE to output the compiled classes in build/classes/main (with Idea plugin, you can configure the outputDir as specified in the above link, and then invoke gradle idea to have it done).
Then, if you launch the task (run / bootRun) or run the main class from the IDE's using the debug mode, hot code reloading should work when a class is compiled.
The gotcha here is that IntelliJ, unlike Eclipse, doesn't automatically compile a class when it is saved (even if you configure the compiler to "Build on save", it won't do it when is Running/Debugging). This is apparently a design decission made by IntelliJ - as stated here Intellij IDEA Java classes not auto compiling on save (CrazyCoder answer) .
It would be ideal if spring boot provided a configuration option to monitor your source code files and recompile them when they change - that is what Grails does. But I think such a think does not exist yet, and maybe is not even possible to combine that with gradle, which is the responsible of managing the classpath and that kind of things.
So there are two options as far as I can tell:
- You remember to compile everything you edit (adding an easier Compile shortcut as suggested in the previous StackOverflow link might help).
- You put some filesystem monitor (inotify-tools for Linux, launchd for Mac OS X are examples) that invokes gradle compileJava/compileGroovy when a change is detected in any source code file.
First is tedious, second is slow :) . Actually there's another option: you change your IDE :-D (or install the EclipseMode IntelliJ plugin).

If one wants to be able to run the application solely from IntelliJ (using Right Click -> Debug on the main method) and not involve Spring Boot's Gradle tasks at all, you simply need to do the following:
- Configure the run configuration in IntelliJ to use the SpringLoaded agent. This is easy to do and an example is shown in the following screenshot:
Notice how I have added a VM Option: -javaagent:/path/to/springloaded-${version}.jar -noverify (which you can download here)
- Debug using Right Click -> Debug like the following screenshot:
- Everytime you make a change and want to reload it, just compile the project. The default shortcut is Cntrl+F9, but you can also access it from the menu
Build->Make Project

I managed to do this with IDEA in a Maven project, it should work with the Gradle version as well I guess, my procedure was the following.
- Settings -> Compiler -> Make project automatically (only works while not running/debugging !)
- Start the project with the sprint-boot-plugin outside of the IDE (a trick because of the above sentence).
The Maven plugins setup looks like the following:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>springloaded</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Now change some code and reload the page.

I'm running SpringBoot and Gradle in IntelliJ Idea. Auto-reloading is working 100%
- Static Content is autoreloading (instantly)
- Thymeleaf is autoreloading (instantly)
- Controllers / Java Files require me to hit the "build" button (takes a few seconds), but does not require a restart - it's just to compile the files, so Spring Loaded can pick them up.
Step 1: Get SpringLoaded going
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.1.RELEASE"
classpath 'org.springframework:springloaded:1.2.1.RELEASE'
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'application'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
}
mainClassName = 'com.noxgroup.nitro.NitroApp'
idea {
module {
inheritOutputDirs = false
outputDir = file("$buildDir/classes/main/")
}
}
dependencies {
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:1.2.1.RELEASE")
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf")
}
jar {
baseName = 'org.noxgroup-nitro'
version = '0.1.0'
}
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '1.11'
}
Step 2: Create an Application.properties
And add the following:
spring.thymeleaf.cache=false
Step 3: Run the bootRun task
(Not just the standard run task - this adds SpringLoaded functionality)
Step 4: Compile your Java
Make your Java files by hitting "Make Project" or pressing "Ctrl/Command + F9
回答5:
In later versions of gradle you can start a command window and run
gradle -t classes
This will start a process that look for changes to source code and recompile them.
In another run.
gradle bootRun
Any changes to java or groovy src will automatically be recomplied. While not intellij specific, your good to go with intellij. You could even make do with you favorite text editor (e.g. submlime, atom ).
