"Starter POM" is a confusing term as it implies the starter may be a
POM while it's actually a jar artifact like any other dependency. To
reduce the confusion (especially in the way such starter should be
declared in the build), the term Starter POM has been renamed to Starter.

Previously, the documentation included hand-written tables for the
application, production, and technical starters.
This commit replaces the hand-written tables with tables that are
generated automatically from all of the starter poms, thereby ensuring
that the documentation is automatically kept up-to-date as starters
are added and removed. An extra column provided a link to each
starter's pom on GitHub has also been added to the table. This makes
it easier for users to see exactly what each starter contains.

Support for Velocity has been deprecated in Spring Framework 4.3 with
the plan being to remove it in 5.0. This commit deprecates Spring
Boot's support in 1.4, with the plan being to remove it in 2.0.
Closes gh-5276
Add an `excludeDevtools` property to both the Maven and Gradle plugin
that removes `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools` (if
necessary) when repackaging the application.
Closes gh-3171
This commit adds two new properties, spring.devtools.remote.proxy.host
and spring.devtools.remote.proxy.port that can be used to configure
RemoteSpringApplication to connect to the remote application through
an HTTP proxy.
Closes gh-3968
Add aliases for `@ComponentScan`attributes on `@SpringBootApplication`
so that it is possible to customize how the component scan should be
applied on the project.
Previously, one would have to revert to `@EnableAutoConfiguration` to
achieve the same result.
Closes gh-3368
The default value of `spring.devtools.restart.exclude` is quite long and
any override requires to copy/paste it to add additional exclusions. To
avoid that, a new `spring.devtools.restart.additional-exclude` property
has been added.
Both properties are now used to compute the full list of exclusions that
is used by PatternClassPathRestartStrategy.
Closes gh-3774
Improve the documentation to explain the necessary steps to create a
custom Spring Boot starter. In particular, provide more details regarding
naming conventions.
Closes gh-2537

Previously, only folders on the classpath would be watched and used
to trigger a restart/reload of the application. This commit adds a
new property spring.devtools.restart.additional-paths that can be
used to configure additional paths that should be watched for
changes. When a change occurs in one of those paths a restart or
reload will be triggered, depending on the full restart exclude
patterns configured via the existing spring.devtools.restart.exclude
property.
Closes gh-3469
The `bootRun` gradle task or `spring-boot:run` maven goal can be used to
start a Spring Boot app with DevTools as long as forking is enabled. Add
an explicit note in the documentation to mention that.
Closes gh-3315
Add `spring.autoconfigure.exclude` to control the list of
auto-configuration classes to exclude via configuration. Merge the
exclusions defined on the `@EnableAutoConfiguration` or
`@SpringBooApplication` if any.
Closes gh-2435
Previously, the Spring Boot Gradle plugin would always apply the
application plugin to a project. It then piggy-backed on the application
plugin’s mainClassName and applicationDefaultJvmArgs properties for the
configuration of the bootRun task.
This commit updates the Spring Boot Gradle plugin so that it no longer
applies the application plugin. If the user applies the application
plugin then its configuration will be used, but it’s a no longer
requirement.
Users who do not need the application plugin, but who were using the
mainClassName or applicationDefaultJvmArgs properties will need to
change their builds as a result of this change as those properties will
no longer exist. As before, the mainClassName can be configured on the
springBoot extension:
springBoot {
mainClassName 'com.example.YourApplication'
}
The applicationDefaultJvmArgs property can be used, but it must now be
declared with the project's ext block. For example:
ext {
applicationDefaultJvmArgs = [ '-Dcom.example.property=true' ]
}

These files are modified by Eclipse for some reason when you change files
like Thymeleaf HTML files. `META-INF/maven/**` has been added to the
default exclusion.
