Issue With latest Spring Boot v1.5.2: If the application.yml file contains special maven resource delimiter "@", during automatic restart through devtools, the parsing error will occurs.

e.g. org.yaml.snakeyaml.scanner.ScannerException: while scanning for the next token found character '@' that cannot start any token. (Do not use @ for indentation) in 'reader', line 30, column 26: myProp: @myPropValue@ ^
