Michael Vorburger commented on FINERACT-931:
--------------------------------------------

I'm toying with this today; WIP on [https://github.com/apache/fineract/compare/develop...vorburger:FINERACT-931_boot-devtools].

Eclipse Java Build Path for {{src/main/java}} needs to be manually changed from {{bin/main}} to {{build/classes/java/main}}, and {{src/main/resources}} also from {{bin/main}} to {{build/classes/java/main}}, and the {{build/classes/java/main/resources}} source folder in Eclipse (which only contains the generated {{git.properties}} needs to be removed - then this seems to basically work! It's pretty cool...

To turn my branch into a PR and recommend this more widely, we would have to make above "just work". How do we automate this with Gradle? Do we want to; do we see any downside to "mixing" the "Gradle CLI" and the "Eclipse IDE" classpath? I've been a proponent of keeping this separate in the past myself, but here it actually seems useful..

FINERACT-1228 is a minor side effect I've noticed (not blocking).

Or... do we not need / want this, because "just" basic JVM hot code replacement in debug mode is good enough? (I know it's not the same, the question is if we want to go this way, or close this issue.) Then perhaps we could document that more clearly?
