How to make IntelliJ automatically rebuild and update the browser upon editing? (Java, Spring)
Answered
With Java Spring Boot applications (websites) - is there a way to configure IntelliJ to, upon editing a code or html file -- automatically rebuild the project changes and update the running browser showing the webpage?
I am running on Windows 10, using the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA Education. I'm currently working on a dumbed-down sample app just to learn it, using Gradle.
Thank you for any help,

To have fast development life cycle and update application while it is running you should use Spring Boot Run/Debug Configuration with Run/Debug Configurations | On frame deactivation action set to 'Update classes and resources'. See Updating Applications on Application Servers article.
Note that this functionality is available in Ultimate IDE edition only.
