Java

Spring Boot and plain Java scaffolds with Maven or Gradle wrappers, ORM, auth, libraries, and tests.

Java projects support Spring Boot, Quarkus, and plain Java templates. Choose Java options for build tools, persistence, auth, application libraries, and test libraries.

Prerequisites

  • Java 21.
  • Git if you want repository initialization.

Compatibility notes

  • Spring Boot and Quarkus require Maven or Gradle.
  • Java ORM, auth, and Spring-specific libraries require Spring Boot plus Maven or Gradle.
  • Flyway requires Spring Data JPA.
  • Some libraries are framework-specific. For example, Spring Batch, Spring Kafka, Spring Mail, Spring WebFlux, Springdoc OpenAPI, Actuator, and Spring Security target Spring Boot projects.

Generated behavior

  • Maven projects use ./mvnw test for verification when install is enabled.
  • Gradle projects use ./gradlew test for verification when install is enabled.
  • Plain Java behavior is selected by using --java-web-framework none and compatible none values for framework-dependent categories.
  • AI instruction files are still available through --ai-docs, including --ai-docs none.
