maven does not stop tomcat when spring-loaded is used (Mac OS X)

[lacivert]

I try getting started examples of Spring. Almost all of them use Spring Boot. I use Eclipse Mars (not STS). Without spring-loaded dependency, everything looks fine. When I put the dependency of spring-loaded into "build", it does not stop tomcat server and doesn't give an error or exception. When I try to use the same port (8080), I see that it is still used so I get BindException:

java.net.BindException: Address already in use

Here is the Maven part -version: 1.2.4.RELEASE-:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>springloaded</artifactId>
                    <version>${spring-loaded.version}</version>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </plugin>

It's because spring-boot-plugin is creating another process which IDE isn't aware of and can't stop. Add false to plugin configuration and add javaagent manually.

@ravshansbox thank you, how exactly do we make this configuration?

[ravshansbox]

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
            <fork>false</fork>
        </configuration>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                <artifactId>springloaded</artifactId>
                <version>${spring-loaded.version}</version>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </plugin>

and load spring-loaded in "old-style", using java-agent.
