The only thing better than a Maven archetype is a repo you can fork with everything already setup. Skip the documentation and just fork-and-code.

Delete the sample code, replace with your own and you’re good to go.

There are several ways to run a Spring Boot application on your local machine. One way is to execute the main method in the com.selimhorri.app.pack class from your IDE.

• Download the zip or clone the Git repository.
• Unzip the zip file (if you downloaded one)
• Open Command Prompt and Change directory (cd) to folder containing pom.xml
• Start your local MySQL database
• Import pfa_db.sql

source ./pfa_db.sql 

• Build the project

./mvnw clean install 

• Open Eclipse
  • File -> Import -> Existing Maven Project -> Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the zip
  • Select the project
• Choose the Spring Boot Application file (search for @SpringBootApplication)
• Right Click on the file and Run as Spring Boot App
• Or, Run on different env :
• On Dev :

java -jar target/project-tracking-sys.jar
java -Dspring.profiles.active=dev -jar target/project-tracking-sys.jar

• On Test :

java -Dspring.profiles.active=test -jar target/project-tracking-sys.jar

• On Test :

java -Dspring.profiles.active=prod -jar target/project-tracking-sys.jar

Alternatively you can use the Spring Boot Maven plugin like so:

mvn spring-boot:run

Spring Boot Starter Security default username is user and a generated security password is printed in the console like Using generated security password: ?

• models — to hold our entities;

• repositories — to communicate with the database;

• services — to hold our business logic;

• security — security configuration;

• controllers — to listen to the client;

• resources/ - Contains all the static resources, templates and property files.

• resources/static - contains static resources such as css, js and images.

• resources/templates - contains server-side templates which are rendered by Spring.

• resources/application.properties - It contains application-wide properties. Spring reads the properties defined in this file to configure your application. You can define server’s default port, server’s context path, database URLs etc, in this file.

• test/ - contains unit and integration tests

• pom.xml - contains all the project dependencies
