Here's a guide to setting up and configuring a Spring Boot project:

1. Prerequisites:

● Java Development Kit (JDK): Ensure you have Java 8 or later installed. Check
with java -version in your terminal.
● Build Tool: Choose Maven or Gradle for managing dependencies and building
your project.

2. Using Spring Initializr:

● Access: Visit https://start.spring.io/.


● Project Details:
○ Project metadata: Enter project name, group, and artifact coordinates.
○ Dependencies: Select starter dependencies for features you need (e.g.,
Spring Web, JPA, Security).
○ Build tool: Choose Maven or Gradle.
○ Packaging: Select JAR or WAR (usually JAR for Spring Boot).
○ Java version: Choose your preferred version.
● Generate Project: Click "Generate" to download a starter project archive.

3. Project Structure:

● Key files:
○ pom.xml (Maven) or build.gradle (Gradle): Manages dependencies and
builds.
○ src/main/java: Contains your Java source code.
○ src/main/resources: Contains configuration files (e.g.,
application.properties).
○ src/test/java: Contains test classes.

4. Configuration:

● Application class: The main class (annotated with @SpringBootApplication)


starts the application.
● application.properties (or application.yml): Sets configuration properties (e.g.,
server port, database connection).
● Auto-configuration: Spring Boot automatically configures features based on
dependencies. Override defaults if needed.

5. Running the Application:

● From IDE: Run the main class.

● Command line:
○ Maven: mvn spring-boot:run
○ Gradle: gradle bootRun

6. Packaging and Deployment:

● Executable JAR: Spring Boot creates an executable JAR containing all


dependencies.
● Deployment: Deploy the JAR to a server or run it standalone.

Additional Tips:

● Spring Boot Reference Guide: Comprehensive documentation:

● Spring Boot Actuator: Provides production-ready features for monitoring and
management.
● Spring Boot DevTools: Enables hot reloading and faster development.
