Here is a quick and simple way to start your Spring framework boilerplate code for your next project.

Spring Initializr is a web-based tool provided by the Pivotal Web Service. With the help of Spring Initializr, we can easily generate the structure of the Spring Boot Project. It offers extensible API for creating JVM-based projects.

Navigate to start.spring.io….

This is where you will generate your initial project setup.

This where you can pick your project type, language and version of Spring Boot you need to use.

Complete this form to setup your project’s metadata. These are your initial names for your project.

Pick your dependencies by clicking the ADD button…

From here you can pick and add your dependencies.

When you have everything filled out and added click generate to spin-up your project boilerplate and it will begin to download to your local machine..

Super simple and now you are on your way to building your project.
