Hi guys, is there a way where I can capture the Project Description and Print it in my custom-initializer console when a new project is created?
Example:- my custom-initializer is running on port 8080 and whenever I create a new project out of it, all the new Project Details like groupid, artifactid must be printed in my custom-initializer console.
thank you.

@snicoll

Hello. Not sure what you mean by “console"

Hi, lets just say i just want to capture the new project details like atrifactid, groupid etc,

Stéphane Nicoll

@snicoll

I understood what you’re trying to capture. What is a “custom initializr console”?

shreyasprabhu121

@shreyasprabhu121

sry, i meant to say IDE terminal

@snicoll

ProjectDescription is a bean in the project generation context you can inject like any other bean.

Is it possible to run start.spring.io (initializr + WebUI) behind the company firewall ? for-example mycomany.com/start. I am not able to load any javascript as it is looking at / and not in start/

@Bean
public CustomProjectGenerationController projectGenerationController(InitializrMetadataProvider metadataProvider,
        ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
    ProjectGenerationInvoker<ProjectRequest> projectGenerationInvoker = new ProjectGenerationInvoker<>(
            applicationContext, new CustomProjectRequestToDescriptionConverter());
    return new CustomProjectGenerationController(metadataProvider, projectGenerationInvoker);
}

I have tried to inject a bean that will call my CustomProjectGenerationController as described in the reference guide. I have a @ProjectGenerationConfiguration class that contains this bean. Other Beans (contributors, and custimomizers) are called fine during project generation. However, I can not get my CustomProjectGernationController.projectRequest(). The @ProjectGenerationConfiguration class has been added to /start-site/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring.factories

Hello. I'm trying to create a custom initializr, but when I run the initializr-service-sample and curl http://localhost:8080/starter.zip -o demo.zip I just get java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Text must not be null. I expect I missed something obvious

Time to read the contributing guidelines :-)

If I add -d bootVersion=2.4.4 I get a NPE

Jon McEwen

@jonmcewen

added boot-versions to application.yml and now it works :+1:

Stéphane Nicoll

@snicoll

The sample is obviously outdated (and that NPE is odd). Thanks for letting us know, I’ve created spring-io/initializr#1214

clone https://github.com/spring-io/start.spring.io.git , I run StartApplication with 8080 port. but 'http://localhost:8080/' is Whitelabel Error Page

Debug the project, I find HomeController home method "forward:index.html" is not current skip

I see 'https://start.spring.io/' version not like github master version ,github is old version?

Sorry I‘m solve it, error reason is 'maven is not install'

Hi, I just have a question regarding the initial setup. After selecting to add dependencies in the initializr (Web, JPA, etc), how does the Initializr then add those dependencies? Is it just injected within the project's pom.xml file? I'm trying to find the script that injects dependencies selected within the pom.xml

Hello Everyone,
I want to ask something about spring initializr.

I want to change default folder structure and i want to add new some java class, as you guess, they are controller class service class etc.

How can i do this ?
Is it possible ?
I can't see any reference or i couldn't understand it.
Mostly, there is reference about that how we can add new or custom dependency.
I want to change folder structure and add new java classes.

Many thanks in advance,
With best regards,

Hello! I am working on a custom spring initlizr implementation and I have some questions:
Can copyright information be assigned to a new project generated by Spring Inintilzr? This information should be applyed for any new source files of this project.
As far I understand It should be presetting for the IDE (Intelij IDEA or Eclipse). maybe someone has such experience?

Hello, I am manually adding a few dependencies that are already in the configured dependency list using a BuildCustomizer.

public void customize(Build build) {
    if (!build.dependencies().has("my-dependency") {
          build.dependencies.add("my-dependency");
    }
}

This works great. But when I do this, the links configured for the dependency I am adding never make it into the generated README.md. Any ideas?
Thanks

@brunchey

Sorry I meant HELP.md

Andy Wilkinson

@wilkinsona

@brunchey The contributions to the help document are typically made based on the requested dependencies via the use of @ConditionalOnRequestedDependency. Requested dependencies do not include those added via a build customizer.

Stéphane Nicoll

@snicoll

ProjectDescriptionCustomizer would let you add those sooner.

@lnsane

Why not implement it in the form of template file variables? Instead, it takes the form of programming and metadata. I feel very complicated!

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to interact with the Initializer API that would allow me to create multiple projects under different names using some kind of script. (I'm part of a training team and each new pod creates their own project but the dependencies/configs are all the same and we're looking for ways to automate the entire process).

Hello everyone. I'm configuring an initializr instance and one of my custom dependencies needs to add an attribute to the @SpringBootApplication annotation in the main class (exclude = SomeClass.class). I'm extending MainApplicationTypeCustomizer<TypeDeclaration> but I can't find a way to modify the existing "org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication" annotation. Any advice on how to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
