Creating a SpringBoot Project with IntelliJ Idea and Spring Initializr
To embark on a journey of building a robust tool using SpringBoot, we first need to create a new project. In this tutorial, we will leverage the power of IntelliJ Idea and the Spring Initializr tool to quickly set up our project.
Step 1: Creating a New Project
Begin by navigating to the menu bar in IntelliJ Idea and selecting File > New > Project. This will bring up the New Project dialog box. From the list of project types, choose Spring Initializr.
Selecting the JDK
Next, you will be prompted to select the SDK (Software Development Kit) for your project. Choose the appropriate version of JDK (Java Development Kit) that suits your needs. For this example, we will use JDK 1.8.
Configuring the Service URL
In the Spring Initializr section, enter the Service URL, which is the address of the official Spring Initializr tool provided by Spring. This is where we will obtain the necessary dependencies for our project.
Creating a Maven Project
Click Next to proceed to the Maven project configuration page. Here, you will fill in the project details, including the group ID, artifact ID, and version. Make sure to select the correct version of SpringBoot, which in this case is 2.0.0.
Selecting Dependencies
In the Dependencies section, choose the dependencies that are required for your project. For this example, we will select the basic SpringBoot dependencies. You can also select additional dependencies, such as SpringCloud, depending on your project’s needs.
Configuring Project Settings
After selecting the dependencies, click Next to proceed to the project settings page. Here, you will set the project name and the storage location for your project.
Completing the Project Setup
Once you have completed the project settings, click Finish to complete the project setup process.
Starting the Project
After the project has been set up, you can start it by clicking the Run button or by pressing the Shift+F10 keys. You will see the SpringBoot banner displayed, indicating that your project has been successfully started.
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to create a new SpringBoot project using IntelliJ Idea and the Spring Initializr tool. We have covered the steps involved in setting up a new project, selecting the JDK, configuring the Service URL, creating a Maven project, selecting dependencies, and configuring project settings. With these steps, you are now ready to start building your own robust tools using SpringBoot.
