Using spring loaded with spring boot and maven

Question

I'm creating an extremely simple Spring example as described here: http://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/ and I'm running it with mvn spring-boot:run. Now I want to add Spring Loaded plugin in there so that I as soon as I compile a java file, it should be compiled and reloaded. Hewever,

• I don't want to use Gradle
• I don't want to use Eclipse or Idea

Is there a simple way to set up Spring Loaded in Maven so that I can use it from command line?

You just have to add the springloaded jar as a dependency in the plugin configuration, e.g. as in the JPA sample. Here's a link to the plugin docs: http://docs.spring.io/autorepo/docs/spring-boot/current/maven-plugin/run-mojo.html#agent
