If you are saying about automatic server restart, when some files are changed, it is possible. Take a look at this article here: https://dzone.com/articles/continuous-auto-restart-with-spring-boot-devtools

There is exact description of what to put in which files: practical tutorial.

Also take a look at Spring documentation here:

http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/using-boot-devtools.html

There you can find theory of what and why: theoretical tutorial.
