Since Idea 2018.2 Spring Boot applications are natively supported in the Run Dashboard. To ease the setup, copy the XML files below ideaRunConfigurations into the .idea/runConfigurations folder in your workspace.

Unfortunately, new run configurations in .idea/runConfigurations are not recognized by default.

You need to reopen your Idea project.

You can edit the run configurations by setting the installation.host or any of the other convenience properties. Please keep the Application Configuration Facade in mind.

Run Dashboard not visible

To show Idea’s Run Dashboard, open dialog Edit configuration, click on Templates, then add Spring Boot to Add SpringConfigurations available in Run Dashboard.

Copy all run configurations at once

To copy all provided run configurations to your .idea/runConfigurations folder at once, use the script copy-run-configurations.sh.
