How to obtain the Hotswap or Live Edit
Answered
I'd love to get his working. Running both a maven webapp and a spring boot web maven app. I cannot get hotswap to work. Especially for the thymeleaf html files. When I save an Thymeleaf/html file, I would expect my changes to show up. The only way I can get them to show up again is to update resources and deploy. This still does not change if I'm in debug mode either.
In settings I have build project before reloading classes checked. Reload classes in background checked.
Not sure what other settings I'm missing. Any thoughts?

Make sure artifact is exploded and use Update action, see also https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/updating-applications-on-application-servers.html.
So is there no way for this to happen on Save? I either have to click update, or set frame deactivation to update?
Yes, that is correct.
Thanks for the info Serge. That solves the issue. Albeit, not in the way I wanted. :) Netbeans held my hand in that way for too long. I guess I just expected Intellij to have the same option.
What's wrong with updating on frame deactivation?
Nothing really now that I think about it. :) Thanks again!
