# Contributing to Spring Boot
Spring Boot is released under the non-restrictive Apache 2.0 license. If you would like
to contribute something, or simply want to hack on the code this document should help
you get started.
## Working with the code
If you don't have an IDE preference we would recommend that you use
[Spring Tools Suite](http://www.springsource.com/developer/sts) or
[Eclipse](http://eclipse.org) when working with the code. We use the
[m2eclipe](http://eclipse.org/m2e/) eclipse plugin for maven support. Other IDEs
and tools should also work without issue.
### Building from source
To build the source you will need to install
[Apache Maven](http://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html) v3.0 or above. The project
can be build using the standard maven command:
$ mvn clean install
If you are rebuilding often, you might also want to skip the tests until you are ready
to submit a pull request:
$ mvn clean install -DskipTests
### Importing into eclipse with m2eclipse
We recommend the [m2eclipe](http://eclipse.org/m2e/) eclipse plugin when working with
eclipse. If you don't already have m2eclipse installed it is available from the "eclipse
marketplace".
Spring Boot includes project specific source formatting settings, in order to have these
work with m2eclipse, we provide an additional eclipse plugin that you can install:
* Select `Install new software` from the `help` menu
* Click `Add...` to add a new repository
* Click the `Archive...` button
* Select `org.eclipse.m2e.maveneclipse.site-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-site.zip`
from the `eclipse` folder in this checkout
* Install "Maven Integration for the maven-eclipse-plugin"
_NOTE: This plugin is optional. Projects can be imported without the plugin, your code
changes just won't be automatically formatted._
With the requisite eclipse plugins installed you can select
`import existing maven projects` from the `file` menu to import the code. You will
need to import the root `spring-boot` pom and the `spring-boot-samples` pom separately.
### Importing into eclipse without m2eclipse
If you prefer not to use m2eclipse you can generate eclipse project meta-data using the
following command:
$ mvn eclipse:eclipse
The generated eclipse projects can be imported by selecting `import existing projects`
from the `file` menu.
### Importing into other IDEs
Maven is well supported by most Java IDEs. Refer to you vendor documentation.
### Integration tests
The sample application are used as integration tests during the build
(when you `mvn install`). Due to the fact that they make use of the
`spring-package-maven-plugin` they cannot be called directly, and so
instead are launched via the `maven-invoker-plugin`. If you encounter
build failures running the integration tests, check the `build.log`
file in the appropriate sample directory.

# Docs without a home as yet :(
|Feature |Implementation |Notes |
|---|---|---|
|Launch Spring from Java main |SpringApplication | Plenty of convenience methods and customization opportunities |
|Server |Tomcat or Jetty | |
|Logging |Logback, Log4j or JDK | Sensible defaults configurations. |
|Externalized configuration | Properties or YAML | Support for Spring profiles. Bind automatically to @Bean. |
For a quick introduction and to get started quickly with a new
project, carry on reading. For more in depth coverage of the features
of Spring Boot.Strap, go to the [Feature Guide](docs/Features.md).
# Getting Started
You will need Java (6 at least) and a build tool (Maven is what we use
below, but you are more than welcome to use gradle). These can be
downloaded or installed easily in most operating systems. For Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk maven
<!--FIXME: short instructions for Mac.-->
## A basic project
If you are using Maven create a really simple `pom.xml` with 2 dependencies:
`pom.xml`
```
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<properties>
<start-class>com.mycompany.Application</start-class>
</properties>
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>{{project.version}}</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-package-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
```
If you like Gradle, that's fine, and you will know what to do with
those dependencies. The one dependency adds Spring Boot.Config auto
configuration and the Tomcat container to your application. If you
prefer Jetty you can just add the embedded Jetty jars to your
classpath instead of Tomcat.
Now write a simple main class
`Application.java`
```
package com.mycompany;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
@Configuration
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
```
You should be able to run it already:
$ mvn package
$ java -jar target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
. ____ _ __ _ _
/\\ / ___'_ __ _ _(_)_ __ __ _ \ \ \ \
( ( )\___ | '_ | '_| | '_ \/ _` | \ \ \ \

' |____| .__|_| |_|_| |_\__, | / / / /

Spring Bootstrap
2013-07-19 17:13:51.673 INFO 18937 --- [ main] com.mycompany.Application ...
... <logs showing application starting up>
It doesn't do anything yet, but that's because all we did is start a
Spring `ApplicationContext` and let it close when the JVM stopped.
To make it do something a little bit more interesting you could bind
some command line arguments to the application:
`Application.java`
```
@Configuration
@ConfigurationProperties
@EnableConfigurationProperties
public class Application {
private String message;
@Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
System.err.println(message);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
public String getMessage() {
return message;
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
}
```
The `@ConfigurationProperties` annotation binds the Spring
`Environment` (including command line arguments) to the `Application`
instance, and `CommandLineRunner` is a marker interface for anything
you want to be executed after the content is started. So run it
again and you will see the message:
```
$ mvn package
$ java -jar target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --message="Hello World"
...
Hello World
```
To add more features, add some `@Bean` definitions to your
`Application` class, and read more in the
[Feature Guide](docs/Features.md).
