Spring Boot 1.3 will ship with a brand new module called spring-boot-devtools. The aim of this module is to try and improve the development-time experience when working on Spring Boot applications.

To use the module you simply need to add it as a dependency in your Maven POM:

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

or your Gradle build file:

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
}

Once included, the spring-boot-devtools module provides a number of nice features that we cover below (If you can't be bother to read the text, skip to the end of the post for a short video…
