Axon doesn't work in combination with spring-boot-dev-tools on class path

Axon version: 3.0.2 With: spring-boot-axon + H2 + No cache repository

If you add spring-boot-dev-tools in your class path, axon will not work. I am not sure, but spring-boot-dev-tools will change the path class name of event message object and during the publishing this event will not match.

I make an example here -> https://github.com/moifort/axon-sample-with-spring-dev-tools

Make the test by removing/adding spring-boot-dev-tools dependency

Did some test with the sample project given by @moifort The Axon jars are just one part, the serializer has to be included too. What finally worked:

restart.include.axon-core=axon-core-3.0.2.jar
restart.include.axon-spring=axon-spring-3.0.2.jar
restart.include.axon-spring-boot-autoconfigure=axon-spring-boot-autoconfigure-3.0.2.jar
restart.include.xstream=xstream-1.4.9.jar

Depending on the serializer chosen by the developer you have to include more dependencies (with unknown side effects). I think this should not be handled by Axon. Just add a section to the README and give some examples for common use cases.

We’ve prioritized a fix/solution for the spring-dev-tools issue in #1382 for release 4.4. That issue links to the majority of the created issues around spring-dev-tools, although I forget to reference this one; sorry for that unclarity.

By the way, the file you’re referencing was intended as a fix for the users, although it indeed doesn’t work as expected.
