title: Broken Spring Boot Debugging process - ignoring breakpoints
body: <p>I've encountered the same issue twice. As soon as I try to upgrade the spring boot maven plugin version to something greater than 1.0.1 release the application does not stop on any of the debug breakpoints.</p>
  
  <p>During the development we identified the problem and we had to fallback to 1.0.1 while being on Spring Boot parent 1.1.9 What are the risks of such decision I can only guess.</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;build&gt;
          &lt;plugins&gt;
              &lt;plugin&gt;
                  &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
                  &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                  &lt;version&gt;1.1.9.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
                  &lt;!-- &lt;version&gt;1.0.1.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt; works flawlessly--&gt;
              &lt;/plugin&gt;
          &lt;/plugins&gt;
      &lt;/build&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p>There is a workaround if you are running in default profile just by debugging the application class, but hey I can't configure anything else in this case.</p>
  
  <p>Screenshot demonstrating how the debugger failed to stop on the very first breakpoint and application started instead.</p>
