Spring Boot Gradle plugin - live reload of resources with multi-module project

Question

I am having problems getting live reload of static resources to work with a gradle multi-module project.

Here is my simplified project structure:

project - application - src/main/java/com/mypackage/MyApplication.java - web - src/main/resources/index.html

If I am running the spring boot gradle plugin bootRun task to launch my application in place, via the command line, the live reload of static resources within web resources does not get picked up.

Now I know if the spring boot application were to exist in web also, the live reload would work.

My two questions are:

1. When running the application in place with bootRun and a multi-module structure, does it build the classpath from the dependency modules build/classes or use the lib/mydependency.jar?

2. Is there a way to configure the plugin to consider peer modules resources for live reloading?
