How to creat Spring boot application using spring tool suite IDE

---

Launch your Spring tool suit and right-click on File then New and now find Spring Starter Project.

Once you snap the Spring starter project, a new window will pop up. Make sure the service URL is https://start.spring.io and in the Name section, you can give your project name. As this is a tutorial project I'll name as FirstWebApplication.

In Group type in.learnjavaskills and Artifact FirstWebApplication. In Group I had the name as in.learnjavaskills because the naming convention of Group should be like this (Your domain extension).(your domain name) and always user Artifact names as your project name.

Finally but not least make sure the java version, packaging, type, and language as shown in the below image. If you wish to change this setting go ahead and try it.

Now follow the next button, you will get the following screen. Search the web on below of Available and select spring Web as shown in the below screen after configuring this window, snap-on Finish.

Now it will take some time to download spring dependencies. I always get this question, how long it will take to complete, well it depends on your internet speed, so have some coffee and wait for some time until it gets download completed.

Once the download completed, goa to the project explorer tab and expand FirstWebApplication. your project structure should look like this.
