Why is Spring hot swap not working? - spring

Question

I'm running a Spring Application - everything works so far - except that changes are not reflected.
If I request http://localhost:8080/test I am getting the expected result, but if I make any changes to the code, the changes are not reflected.
I was following these instructions but that didn't help either.
The REST controller:
#RestController
public class TestController {
#RequestMapping("/test")
public List<String> myTest() {
System.out.print("hello");
return new ArrayList<String>();
}
}
Maven dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
</dependency>
The application:
#RestController
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#ComponentScan(basePackages = { "at.dml.controller"})
public class ApplicationProvider {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(ApplicationProvider.class, args);
}
}
What do I have to do in order to let the application reflect changes to the code?
Update:
I now added the following, although it didn't help:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${spring.version}</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>springloaded</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
