Java Tech Talk: Hand-made Spring Boot Starter
Spring Boot Starters are a set of dependency descriptors that you can include in your application. By using Spring Boot Starters, a developer saves himself from having to dig through code samples by copying and pasting a lot of dependency descriptors. Boot Starters save time on configuration and allow you to focus directly on designing your application. The only drawback of this tool is that sometimes the starter does not provide the developer with the functionality he needs. However, this problem can also be solved, because you can always create your own starter. A recent stream on the Minsk Java Community channel is dedicated to this task. Timofey Zubkov will show and tell you how to implement your Spring Boot Starter from scratch.
