To run springboot appllication there is a task “bootRun”<\/strong> which compile and run the application for one deployment lifecyle. This is good enough for the production, where auto compilation is not required.<\/p>\n

In the dev environment auto compilation is used to avoid recompilation. Also it is very much needed to speed up the development time for developers. <\/p>\n

For automatic compilation in springboot, there is a gradle plugin<\/a> which need to be added in build.gradle.
\n[java]
\nbuildscript {
\n repositories {
\n mavenCentral()
\n }
\n dependencies {
\n classpath ‘org.springframework:springloaded:1.2.4.RELEASE’
\n }
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n

You need to run the gradle application in the same way using “gradle bootRun”<\/strong> command. And Now you need to open a separate terminal instance same as in the project folder and run “gradle -t classes”<\/strong> command.<\/p>\n

\"TwoTerminalZoom\"<\/p>\n

This gradle “classes”<\/strong> task is continiously track the changed files in the current project directory.
\nAll the changed files are re-compiled in this case and the .class files are replaced with the previous ones, so that all the changes can reflect to the output automatically.<\/p>\n

Finally, we do not need to re compile the springboot application for any change in the source file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
