Hi. I have this simple Spring Boot app:
https://github.com/Eccenux/HelloSpringBoot

Most of this is generated by the SB creator. The things I added are=20
mostly a HomeController [hc] and some templates e.g. [home].

Now the problem is that even though I enabled *Compile on Save* and=20
*Copy Static Resources on Save*, I cannot seem to get it working. Is=20
this a known problem with Spring Boot 4 or something? Was this fixed=20
recently in NB? I=E2=80=99m currently on NB 28. Is there something, some =
option,=20
I need to change in NetBeans? Something to adjust in Spring configs?

I checked it like this:
1. Change my css in NetBeans:=20
`HelloSpringBoot\src\main\resources\static\css\main.css`
2. Compare it with target:
 =C2=A0 in zip:=20
`HelloSpringBoot\target\hellospring-0.0.1.war\WEB-INF\classes\static\css\=
main.css`
 =C2=A0 and direct: `HelloSpringBoot\target\classes\static\css\main.css`
=E2=86=92 The files are different.

I do develop a few much more complex applications, with a more complex=20
backend and frontend, based on previous Spring versions, and reloading=20
resources seems to work just fine for them. That=E2=80=99s why I=E2=80=99=
m wondering if=20
there is some problem with the integration with the new Spring or Spring=20
Boot.

Cheers,
Maciej Nux
