Spring Boot Starters
Dependency management is a critical aspects of any complex project. And doing this manually is less than ideal; the more time you spent on it the less time you have on the other important aspects of the project.
Spring Boot starters were built to address exactly this problem. Starter POMs are a set of convenient dependency descriptors that you can include in your application.
We have more than 30 Boot starters available
Examples -
- spring-boot-starter-web
- spring-boot-starter-test
- spring-boot-starter-data-jpa etc.
The benefits of using Spring Boot starters:
increase pom manageability
production-ready, tested & supported dependency configurations
decrease the overall configuration time for the project
