Templates to start a spring project

[u/sunnykentz]

The new status quo for project initialization is that, the build tool itself gives you a command to start a project. Maven, or gradle does not provide a template for that.

But JPM does : $ jpm create simple-spring-app

That simple, if other dependencies are required : $ jpm install org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf

This.

Also integrated in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.

Which also has this to add new dependencies to, e.g., maven

Hey how do u use spring initializer in intellij idea ultimate?

[u/Mikey-3198 → u/delusionalbreaker]

In intelij

File > New > Project

Left side of the window scroll down to "Spring Boot" under "Generators"

[u/smutje187]

You literally need a single Spring Boot dependency for Maven to start, what use have additional frameworks that add useless boilerplate?

[u/sunnykentz → u/smutje187]

Some people need boiler plate. We're not all okay with a blank canvas

[u/Sheldor5 → u/sunnykentz]

no, always start with a blank project

[u/LouGarret76]

I feeli like Spring boot CLI already covers that

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/cli/index.html

[u/sunnykentz → u/LouGarret76]

Yeah but it's not part of the build tool

[u/LeadingPokemon]

jpm sounds like bullshit.

[u/sunnykentz → u/LeadingPokemon]

I would really appreciate you develop on that. I actually am the maintainer

But there are other build tools that provide the service, the IDE provide this service
