Spring Boot Starter Example

Spring Boot Starter Example

 

In this article, I am going to showing how to create a spring boot starter example project.

Pre-Requisites

1. Java 1.8
2. Spring Boot 2.2.5.RELEASE
3. Eclipse IDE

Spring boot project can be created in multiple ways.

1. Eclipse Maven
2. STS
3. start.spring.io

Here I am going to show start.spring.io using to create spring boot project.

Step 1:

Open any browser in your system and type https://start.spring.io/ in the address bar

 

Step 2:

Project:  Maven Project

Language: Java

Spring Boot:  2.2.5

Project Metadata :

Group: com.narayanatutorial

Artifact: SpringBootStarterExample

Dependencies: nothing select because by default spring started included.

Click on Generate – Ctrl + button to generate and download the project.

 

 

Step 3:

Unzip the downloaded project in your system and then import it into eclipse as maven project.

Open Eclipse, go to File -> Import -> Maven ->  Existing Maven Projects –> click on Next — > browse the unzipped folder and then click on finish.

 

Step 4:

The project was imported successfully and then execute the main java program.

 

Source Code:

SpringBootStarterExampleApplication.java

package com.narayanatutorial.SpringBootStarterExample;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBootStarterExampleApplication {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Hello World");
		SpringApplication.run(SpringBootStarterExampleApplication.class, args);
		
	}

}
