IntelliJ does a poor job of reloading changed class files in debug mode.
Answered
My team members work with Eclipse editor and changed classes are instantly reloaded when using the debugger. But in IntelliJ, we have re-compile, reload . . . all this nonsense for a paid editor . . .
It is very frustrating . .
Do we have a way to reload classes instantly when using the debugger instead of recompile, reloading classes explicitly all the time ?
Please do not suggest - Debugging Actions --> Reload changed classes . . . I hate that shit . . .

Hello,
By default, IntelliJ IDEA doesn't automatically compile projects on saving because normally we don't invoke the save action explicitly in IntelliJ IDEA.
Please see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/migrating-from-eclipse-to-intellij-idea.html#compilation on how to mimic the Eclipse behavior.
