Intellij IDEA – Auto reload a web application - angularjs

Question

I'm developing an AngularJS and Spring boot application using IntelliJ IDEA 15 and tomcat, whenever I make changes to my static content I've always to restart my application to see those changes.
I looked for a similar problem and I have found this :
Enable IntelliJ hotswap of html and javascript files
But I cant find Update resources option anywhere :
Edit :
This is my project structure :
And this is my pom file :

Answer 1

In Spring Boot application if you include spring-boot-devtools module as one of your dependency, it can give you additional feature like automatically restart the application whenever files change on classpath.
Add the following dependencies
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
if using Gradle
dependencies {
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
}
Since you are using IntelliJ to trigger automatic restart you need to Make Project ( Build -> Make Project ) (Ctrl + F9 on Windows)

Answer 2

I would suggest you to use Spring BOOT's Developer Tools library (LiveReload feature). This gives you the ability to restart a project automatically whenever something changes on a classpath
