spring-starter-terminal VS .emacs.d

There is probably much more that could be covered, but I think this is the most important once you know the basics. If you are new to Maven, suggest starting with an introduction like this. The guide covers creating projects as well, but many modern frameworks have easier and better generators. Spring Boot have its own initializer website, and I've made a CLI version. Quarkus also have a nice web UI you can use to create new projects.

Let's do something slightly different by demonstrating the usage of volumes and Ansible roles during build. It's not unusual to want to package an application into a container, and for simplicity we put it into the same directory as the playbook itself (so we can use the playbook_dir variable). To not make this example too advanced, we simply use a Spring Boot application made from Spring Initializr without any changes (if you prefer a terminal UI, there is one for that too). We'll use geerlingguys java role to setup Java to not boggle down the example with Java setup.
