Spring boot application deployed in STS works fine, but not in IntelliJ Idea

Question

I have Spring-boot application which is built with Maven. When I deploy it with STS( Run as Spring Boot App) it works fine, but when I use IntelliJ Idea it doesn't work.

There is no error in log during deployment process. But when I try to refresh page I got this:

Whitelabel Error Page

This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback. Mon Aug 04 14:48:38 CEST 2014 There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).

I've added Spring module to project. After I added this I have added some XML's XML based configurations and my Application.java class to Code based configurations.

I've changed logging to FINEST and noticed that when I reload page there are some differences in logs between working and not working version.

Not working version

Class which is giving some error inherates from UrlBasedViewResolver, but I have no idea what can I do with that. Cached view [error] gives me no clue.

What might cause this problems?

EDIT

I forgot to mention:

STS 3.5.1

IntelliJ Idea 13.1

Answer 1

STS has a number of Eclipse plugins that you won't find in IntelliJ. To get a Spring Boot application running from IntelliJ, you need to create a Maven run configuration with the command "spring-boot:run" and make sure it points at the correct module, if your app has multiple modules in it.
