Developing Java Applications with Spring and Spring Boot

How to do it...

1. We will start by creating a new directory named db-count-starter in the root of our project.
2. As our project has now become what is known as a multiproject build, we will need to create a settings.gradle configuration file in the root of our project with the following content:

include 'db-count-starter' 

3. We should also create a separate build.gradle configuration file for our subproject in the db-count-starter directory in the root of our project, with the following content:

apply plugin: 'java' 
 
repositories { 
  mavenCentral() 
  maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" } 
  maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" } 
 
} 
 
dependencies { 
  compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot:2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT")   compile("org.springframework.data:spring-data-commons:2.0.2.RELEASE") ...
