Spring Tools 4 is the next generation of Spring tooling for your favorite coding environment. Largely rebuilt from scratch, it provides world-class support for developing Spring-based enterprise applications.

In this article, we are going to look at how to create spring boot application in STS (Spring tool suite) IDE. So lets start

one thing before that, I am considering you’all familiar with eclipse java development. Actually, we will also create in eclipse .

Installing STS from within Eclipse IDE is simple by using eclipse marketplace, but for now we are directly downloading STS.

if you are new then visit below link once you will definitely understand about tools.

In order to create a Spring Boot Starter Project, we will use STS(Spring Tool Suite).

Open your STS and Go to File

>> Select New

>> Spring Starter Project -> Then enter your project name in the Name field as shown below. It’s “spring boot demo project” in my case as shown below in the screenshot.

Next, enter the value of the Group field, which will become the parent package name of your src folder. Then click on ‘Next’.

Every Project has some dependencies for doing some operations/functionalities like if we want to work with database then we need JPA, if we want to create web based app then we need some web starter.

So let's select dependencies from next screen and after that it takes some time to initialize then open your project.

Select starter dependencies

Wait for (some time based on your internet speed)to initialize, then open and start coding…

In a future post, we will see how to set up VS Code for spring boot projects.

Thank you for reading.😁
