Description

The method processFileChanges is running twice when a single modification is made to a file while running maven dev mode (have not yet confirmed if this happens in gradle or not). So far, this has been tested by making file modifications in IntelliJ, Notepad++, and Notepad. Notepad did NOT cause the method to run twice, but both IntelliJ and Notepad++ did.
