jbang VS initializr

Its library made by maven folks that allows easy embedding of the resolver. Im about to move it it in jbang https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang/pull/1604

Congratulations. I believe there is room for a micro framework that is smaller than Javalin or SparkJava.

That said, if you want to cash even more on minimalism, you may want to provide a single-file example using JBang[0].

These would be awesome changes and fully in the spirit of what we managed to do already in jbang (https://jbang.dev). Having the verbosity removed would make it even better.

big part of why I made jbang.dev so if you want to quickly play with all the suggested technologies in this thread without being a java build tool master do give it a go.

(jbang being https://jbang.dev)

Quarkus provides the option to create command line apps, and this is so kool, since you can also compile these into native. We are just going to make simple app for demo purpose in this blog. But if you are looking into creating some serious nirvana of cli apps take a look at this guide at quarkus.io using picocli or JBang

https://jbang.dev provides a bunch of ways to build and distribute simple java apps.

The best way, for generating a ready-to-run application in Java you can use the Spring Boot Initializr tool.

curl --location 'https://start.spring.io/starter.zip?type=maven-project&language=java&bootVersion=3.2.2&baseDir=ms-xcoffee&groupId=com.xcoffee&artifactId=ms-xcoffee&name=ms-xcoffee&description=Demo%20project%20for%20Spring%20Boot&packageName=com.xcoffee.ms-xcoffee&packaging=jar&javaVersion=21&dependencies=webflux%2Clombok%2Cvalidation' | tar -xzvf -

In this segment we will create a basic Spring boot app from Spring Initializer. Add the below dependencies:

Add the following MongoDB dependencies in your pom.xml or use spring initializer and select the Spring Data MongoDB dependency:

I created all of these applications using start.spring.io's REST API and HTTPie.

An easy way to create the skeleton project is to visit Spring Initializr, I set the Project to Gradle - Groovy, Language to Java, and add Spring Web dependency. Then it's just to generate the project and unpack it.

Create a new Spring Boot application using the Spring Initializr. You can use the web version or the curl command below. Use the default for most of the options. For the dependencies, select web, and okta. For the build tool, select Gradle.

I will start with a simple example of a cloud function, which is the same as a rest endpoint in the classical spring boot web application. You can create a project from your favorite IDE or from Spring Initliazr.
