Set up hot reload with parameters with Maven and Spring - spring

Question

I have a maven generated project. This is my pom.xml:

</build>
</project>
I build it using this command:
#mvn package -PLOCAL
And run using this command:
java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=rganeyev target/abacus-web-0.1.jar
I have an src/main/resources/application-rganeyev.properties file, where my local properties are set. The application must use this file to work properly.
It works fine, build and running goes ok. The problem is I can not use hot reloading. Documentation says:
Developer tools are automatically disabled when running a fully packaged application. If your application is launched from java -jar or if it is started from a special classloader, then it is considered a “production application”.
To use hot-reloading, I mustn't use java -jar, but only mvn utilities.
I tried to run mvn spring-boot:run -PLOCAL -Dspring.profiles.active=rganeyev, but it does not use properties file and crashes. Hot to run maven and use my properties file?

Hi try to add the profile definition to the POM.
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
<profiles>
<profile>rganeyev</profile>
</profiles>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
And than call it with the profile:
mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.profiles=rganeyev
