Gradle Spring Boot Conventions Plugin

This plugin applies best practices and conventions for developing Spring Boot microservices at welt.

Usage

See plugin portal.

The plugin applies only conventions and best practices. The necessary Gradle configuration for developing Spring Boot applications must be done in the project itself.

Example:

buildscript {
    repositories { 
        jcenter() 
        maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }
        maven { url "http://repo.spring.io/milestone" }
    }
    
    dependencies {
        classpath(
            'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.4.0.M3',
            'gradle.plugin.de.weltn24:spring-boot-conventions:4.0.0',
        )
    }
}
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
apply plugin: 'de.weltn24.spring-boot-conventions'

Testing

Testing the functionality of the plugin during the development can be achieved manually by executing the following steps:

2. Add the local Maven cache as a repository in an another gradle project than can integrate with the plugin:

   buildscript {
       repositories {
           mavenLocal()
       }
   }    
   

3. Use the updated version of the plugin as a local dependency with the gradle project from the step before and run the plugin
