Let's review the documentation across the board to make it crystal clear that Spring Boot doesn't have an auto-compile feature.
This can be tricky for newcomers. For instance, Section 6.2 talks about "resources" but doesn't explicitly defines what that means.

@snicoll Can you provide more details on this one please?

Certainly. It's about making sure users don't imply that devtools doesn't recompile your code on the fly (or that spring-boot:run) does. With all the notes and warnings we have in our doc, some users are still confused to not see their app restarting when they make a change in the source code.
