Previously, only folders on the classpath would be watched and used
to trigger a restart/reload of the application. This commit adds a
new property spring.devtools.restart.additional-paths that can be
used to configure additional paths that should be watched for
changes. When a change occurs in one of those paths a restart or
reload will be triggered, depending on the full restart exclude
patterns configured via the existing spring.devtools.restart.exclude
property.
Closes gh-3469
These files are modified by Eclipse for some reason when you change files
like Thymeleaf HTML files. `META-INF/maven/**` has been added to the
default exclusion.
Closes gh-3295
Closes gh-3297
Update `Restarter` to support a `FailureHandler` strategy that can be
used to determine how to deal with errors. The
`LocalDevToolsAutoConfiguration` now uses a strategy that doesn't quit
the application, but instead continues to wait for further file changes.
This helps make restart much more usable in situations where you
accidentally break code.
Fixes gh-3210
Support loading a `.spring-boot-devtools.properties` file from the
users home folder. The property file can be used to customize settings
that make sense on a per-user basis, but might not want to be checked
into the project.
Fixes gh-3151
