I'm fairly new to IntelliJ and I'm using it to develop an AngularJS / Java web application. When I make changes to HTML or JavaScript code, I always have to restart the app server (I'm using Jetty). Is there a config or plugin that provides hotswap for HTML/JS/CSS files?

I'm using IntelliJ 12 Ultimate edition.

I had the same problem but I already fixed it. You can follow this steps:

  1. Go to Help->Find Action
  2. Type "Registry".
  3. Find and mark : “compiler.automake.allow.when.app.running”.
  4. Close the Dialog.
  5. Go to "Settings->Build, Execution, Deployment->Compiler".
  6. Mark "Build project automatically".
  7. Apply changes.
  8. Go to Spring Boot Configuration and if everything goes well it will display a warning about "background compilation", Run your Spring Boot Application and you should be able to see your statisc's files changes when refresh your browser.

Hope it helps.
