<<using-spring-boot.adoc#using-boot-devtools,`spring-boot-devtools`>> as it provides
additional development-time features such as support for fast application restarts
and LiveReload as well as sensible development-time configuration (e.g. template caching).
Devtools works by monitoring the classpath for changes. This means that static resource
changes must be "built" for the change to take affect. By default, this happens
automatically in Eclipse when you save your changes. In IntelliJ IDEA, Make Project will
trigger the necessary build. Due to the
