Description

From @mattcobley on October 1, 2018 20:28

It would be great if the ability to override values for properties was made available when running/debugging Spring Boot applications.

This would allow a file like application.properties - which might contain variables instead of real values for use with something like Octopus Deploy - to be left as they are, but values for running locally to be specified in the debug config, in a similar manner to the "override properties" feature for Spring Boot apps in Spring Tool Suite:

Research direction

Start by tracing how Spring Boot applications receive launch and debug configuration in this Java debugger; the issue names no repository files or tests. Done means local values can be supplied through the debug configuration while application.properties remains unchanged, matching the requested Spring Tool Suite-style override behavior.
