Appendix A. Generating and building Spring Boot projects

In chapter 1, you learned the need for Spring Boot and its features and various components. In the next section, you’ll learn the Spring Initializr tool and, subsequently, explore Spring Boot command-line interface (CLI).

A.1 Generating Spring Boot applications with Spring Initializr

In this section, we’ll introduce the Spring Initializr tool and learn various techniques for generating a Spring Boot project through it.

A.1.1 Introducing Spring Initializr

Spring Initializr (https://start.spring.io/) is a project generation utility that allows you to generate Spring Boot projects. It also enables you to inspect the generated project structure before you download or share it. The generated ...
