Plugin for Spring Loaded that refreshes the application contexts of BlossomDispatcherServlets when a class annotated with @Controller or a type level Blossom annotation is reloaded.

The behavior can be customized using these two system properties:

BlossomSpringLoadedPlugin.refreshOnAnyChange will make the plugin refresh when any class is changed, not just those with Blossom annotations or the @Controller annotation.
BlossomSpringLoadedPlugin.refreshAllDispatcherServlets will make the plugin also refresh plain DispatcherServlets.

To use it first download Spring Loaded
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-loaded

Then add it using JVM arguments, for instance:

-javaagent:/Users/user/Downloads/springloaded-1.2.3.RELEASE.jar
-noverify
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=128M
-DBlossomSpringLoadedPlugin.refreshOnAnyChange=true
-DBlossomSpringLoadedPlugin.refreshAllDispatcherServlets=true

Then add the plugin JAR to your project:

<dependency>
  <groupId>info.magnolia.blossom</groupId>
  <artifactId>magnolia-blossom-spring-loaded</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.3</version>
</dependency>

Spring Loaded 1.2.3 can't reload classes packaged in JAR files. This is coming in the next release, 1.2.4. In the mean time you can change your IDE to package classes into the WEB-INF/classes directory instead of making a JAR file in WEB-INF/lib.
