After reading about the new dev tools features I decided to try it out.
I generally run my apps with mvn spring-boot:run. So after the app started up (with mvn spring-boot:run), changing some controller code and compiling the app, the app reload didn't happen as I expected. Running the app standalone, however, does reload as expected.

The docs do not mention any constraints about how your run you app.
Should the Maven plugin also support devtools or will this not be supported?

Tried with 1.3.0.M1 and 1.3.0-BUILD-SNAPSHOT.
