Overview

Spring Initializr is a REST API that generates a skeleton Spring project structure, allowing you to customize the build system (Maven or Gradle), the project coordinates, the language and version, the packaging and the dependencies to add to the project. The API can be exposed as a service, and the publicly available default instance for the service, run by Pivotal, is available at https://start.spring.io/.

The API can be used standalone or embedded in other tools:

All these tools work by invoking into http://start.spring.io and downloading the project ZIP, which is subsequently expanded in the local workspace.

Spring Project Structure

For both Maven and Gradle-based projects, the source code is placed under:

src/main/java

The test code is placed under:

src/test/java

The non-Java project resources are placed under:

src/main/resources

Spring Initializr creates Maven (mvnw, mvnw.cmd) or Gradle (gradlew, gradlew.bat) wrapper scripts, which can be used to build the project even if Maven or Gradle is not installed in the local development environment. More details about Graddle wrapper scripts.

For Maven-based project, Spring Initializr generates the Maven build specification pom.xml. For Gradle-based project, Spring Initializr generates the Gradle build specification as a pair of two files: build.gradle and settings.gradle.
