[FIXED] Spring boot hot reloading does not work in InteliJ Ultimate edition

Issue

I previously had a problem with the community edition of InteliJ. The problem was that hot swapping didn't work via spring boot devtools (i.e. after updating a class the server should only update those classes and not restart).

Someone told me this was due to the community edition. After installing the ultimate edition my problem remains the same.

Details:

POM:

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

IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3 (Ultimate Edition), Windows 10

Settings > compiler > build project automatically > enabled

Settings > advanced > allow auto-make start if developed app is currently running > enabled

Anyone has a idea?

Solution

in my experience some classes can not be hotloaded, for example static classes, scheduler and rest controller

maybe that could help
