On behalf of the team and everyone who has contributed, I’m happy to announce that Spring Initializr has been updated and is now available on start.spring.io.

A short history of Spring Initializr

The project started out as a minimal HTML form, letting you generate a Spring Boot application with a few options. It's been well received by the Spring community, so the team added new ways to interact with it, through the command-line or your favorite IDE.

After a while, we decided to work on a first revision of the UI. We simplified the form, leaving the essential parts front and center and pushing…

Dear Spring community, we’re proud to announce the first milestone of Spring HATEOAS 1.0. Spring HATEOAS has been in development for almost seven years now. What started as tiny extension to Spring MVC became the foundation for Spring Data REST later on and has served as a fundamental building block for hypermedia based APIs in Spring MVC applications.

We received a lot of input for more advanced features from the community and eventually decided that it was time to integrate those into the library. Also, we gained a significant amount of experience using the library in the wild and thought we…

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I flew 14 hours to Tel Aviv, Israel. I then spent 28h on the ground visiting customers, visiting my friends at Codota, and then presenting at a packed house at the Israel Java User Group. Then I flew another 14 hours back to San Francisco, CA where I presented for a four-hour online course on using Kotlin with Spring Boot. Tonight I'll fly to Atlanta, GA for the incredible DevNexus conference where I'll be presenting (twice) with the good Dr. Venkat Subramaniam on Kotlin (and Spring) and more. Tomorrow, I'm doing a four…
