Given that Spring Boot uses java config accross the board, a new `value`
attribute is now aliased to the existing `classes` attribute such that
one could write the following:
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(MyConfig.class)
public class MyTest {}
Closes gh-3635
The default value of `spring.devtools.restart.exclude` is quite long and
any override requires to copy/paste it to add additional exclusions. To
avoid that, a new `spring.devtools.restart.additional-exclude` property
has been added.
Both properties are now used to compute the full list of exclusions that
is used by PatternClassPathRestartStrategy.
Closes gh-3774
Prior to this commit, the devtools used bean factory post processors to
configure the environment with custom, development-time properties. This
meant that the environment was configured as part of the application
context being refreshed. Crucially, this happened after any property
conditions were evaluated making it impossible for the devtools to
change the default auto-configuration behaviour for a bean or
configuration class that was conditional on a property.
This commit moves the configuration of the environment into an
ApplicationListener that listens for the
ApplicationEnvironmentPreparedEvent which is published as soon as the
Environment has been prepared and before the application context is
refreshed.
Closes gh-3726
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

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
