Automatic rebuild in Che does not work

[ppalaga]

Steps to reproduce:

• new space
• Import Spring Boot HTTP quickstart
• Run via Che
• Visit the preview URL, works as expected
• Change the greeting in GreetingProperties.java to "Hi, %s!"

Expected: the app should rebuild in the "run" terminal
Actual: nothing happens

Same thing happened to me. Same steps to reproduce, except I used 'REST API Level 0' quickstart with Spring Boot.

Looks like auto compile is not working:

That's a regression of redhat-developer/rh-che#254, problably not related to Che itself but to some changes to the spring-boot booster. We need to investigate to get more details. cc @gastaldi

@gytis @cmoulliard @metacosm care to take a look at this?

[ppitonak]

Any updates?

[metacosm]

Hmm, wasn't aware of this until now. Not sure how I missed it. spring-boot-dev-tools is properly set as a dependency so it should be working. As far as changes go, it's difficult to tell what could be causing the issue, especially without being able to test (I don't have an OSIO account).

Set to Sev2 since it is a regression of a sev2 defect and prioirity to p2 which I am not sure of. please update if needs to be changed
