Working a Getting Started guide with STS

This guide walks you through using Spring Tool Suite (STS) to build one of the Getting Started guides.

What you’ll build

You’ll pick a Spring guide and import it into Spring Tool Suite. Then you can read the guide, work on the code, and run the project.

What you’ll need

About 15 minutes

Spring Tool Suite (STS)

JDK 8 or later

Installing STS

If you don’t have STS installed yet, visit the link up above. From there, you can download a copy for your platform. To install it simply unpack the downloaded archive.

When you’re done, go ahead and launch STS.

Importing a Getting Started guide

With STS up and running, open the Import Spring Getting Started Content wizard from the File menu.

A pop-up wizard will offer you the chance to search and pick any of the published guides from the Spring website. You can either skim the list, or enter search words to instantly filter the options.]

You can pick either Maven or Gradle as the build system to use.

You can also decide whether to grab the initial code set, complete code set, or both. For most projects, the initial code set is an empty project, making it possible for you to copy-and-paste your way through a guide. The complete code set is all the code from the guide already entered. If you grab both, you can compare your work against the guide’s and see the differences.

Finally, you can have STS open a browser tab to the guide on the website. This will let you work through a guide without having to leave STS.

For the purpose of this guide, enter rest into the instant search box. Then pick Consuming Rest . Pick Maven for building, and initial and complete code sets. Also opt to open the web page as shown below:

STS will create two new projects in your workspace, import the Consuming Rest code base (both initial and complete), and open a browser tab inside STS as shown below:

From here, you can walk through the guide and navigate to the code files.

Congratulations! You have setup Spring Tool Suite, imported the Consuming Rest getting started guide, and opened a browser tab to walk through it.

Since its introduction in Java 8, the Stream API has become a staple of Java development. The basic operations like iterating, filtering, mapping sequences of elements are deceptively simple to use.

But these can also be overused and fall into some common pitfalls.

1. Overview

This article illustrates some of the useful features of the Eclipse Spring Tool Suite (STS) IDE, which are useful when developing Spring applications .

First we show the benefits of using STS as compared to the traditional way of building applications with Eclipse.

Thereafter, we focus on how to bootstrap an application, how to run it and how to add additional dependencies. Finally we conclude by adding application arguments.

2. STS Main Features

STS is an Eclipse-based development environment that is customized for the development of Spring applications.

It provides a ready-to-use environment to implement, debug, run and deploy your applications. It also includes integration for Pivotal tc Server, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Git, Maven and AspectJ. STS is built as an addition on top of the latest Eclipse releases.

2.1. Project Configuration

STS understands almost all of the most common Java project structures. It parses configuration files and then displays detailed information about beans that are defined, dependencies, used namespaces and in addition extracts overviews for certain stereotypes.

2.2. STS Features Overview

Eclipse STS validates your project and provides quick fixes for your applications. For example, when working with Spring Data JPA, the IDE may be used to validate query method names (more on this in section 6).

STS also provides a graphical view on all bean methods and their mutual relationships. You may want to have a closer look at the graphical editors that come with STS by looking into the views that are available under the menus window , show view and then Spring respectively.

STS also offers other additional useful features that are not limited to Spring applications only. The reader is recommended to a look at the full list of features that can be found here .

3. Creation of a Spring Application

Let us start by bootstrapping a simple application. Without STS a Spring application is usually created by using the Spring Initializer website or the Spring Boot CLI . This may be simplified by clicking on Create Spring Starter Project from your dashboard in STS.

In the New Spring Starter Project screen either use the defaults or make your own adjustments and then go to next screen. Select Web and click finish. Your pom.xml should now look similar to this:

Your version of Spring Boot may be different but the latest version may always be found here .

4. Running the Application

The aforementioned application may be started by right-clicking on the project and selecting run as Spring Boot App . Without STS, you will most likely run the application from the command line with the following command:

By default, Spring applications are started with Tomcat running on port 8080. At this point, the application starts on port 8080 and basically does nothing else as we have not implemented any code yet. Section 8 shows you how to change the default port.

5. Logging and ANSI Console

When you run the project from the IDE using the run command, you will notice that the console outputs some nice color-coded log statements. In case you want to turn it off, go to run configurations … and disable the check box Enable ANSI console output on the Spring Boot tab. Alternatively, you can also disable it by setting a properties value in the application.properties file.

More information on the configuration of your application logs may be found here .

6. JPA Query Name Checks

At times implementing a data access layer may be a cumbersome activity. A lot of boilerplate code may have to be written to realize simple queries and perform pagination. Spring Data JPA (JPA) aims to significantly facilitate such an implementation of data access layers. This section illustrates some of the benefits of using JPA in conjunction with STS.

To get started, add the following dependency for JPA to the previously generated pom.xml :

You may have noticed that version has not been specified in the above declaration. This is due to the fact that dependencies are managed by the spring-boot-starter-parent .

To make JPA work, it is required that you properly define your entity managers and transaction managers. However, Spring auto-configures these for you. The only thing left to the developer is to create the actual entity classes. These entities are managed by the entity manager, which in turn is created by the container. Let us for example create an entity class Foo like so:

The container scans all classes annotated with @Entity from the root of the configuration package. Next we create a JPA repository for the Foo entity:

At this point you may have noticed already that the IDE now flags this query method with an exception:

This is of course due to the fact that we have accidentally written an ‘s’ in the method name of the JPA repository. To fix this remove the spurious ‘s’ like so:

Notice that no @EnableJpaRepositories was used on the config class. This is because the container’s AutoConfigration pre-registers one for the project.

7. Jar Type Search

“Jar Type Search” is a feature that was introduced in STS 3.5.0 . It provides content-assisted proposals in projects for classes that are not (yet) on the classpath. STS may help you adding dependencies to your POM file in case they are not yet on the classpath.

For example, let us add a line to the Foo entity class. For this example to work properly, please ensure first that the import statement for java.util.List is already present. Now we may add Google Guava as follows:

The IDE will suggest several dependencies to be added to the classpath. Add the dependency from com.google.common.collect, press return and add the dependency from Guava . The Guava jar will now automatically be added to your pom.xml file like so:

As of version STS 3.8.0 , you get a confirmation dialog box before STS makes its changes to your pom.xml.

8. Adding Application Arguments

One of the other powerful features of Spring is the support of external configurations which can be passed to an application in several ways, e.g. as command-line arguments, specified in properties or YAML files or as system properties. In this section, we focus on adding a configuration option as application start argument using STS. This is illustrated by configuring Tomcat to start on a different port.

In order to run an application on a Tomcat port other than the default, you may use the command below, where a custom port is specified as command-line argument:

When using STS, you have go to the run menu. Select run configurations … from the Run Configurations dialog, select Spring Boot App from the left panel and select demo – DemoApplication (this will be different if you did not select the default project). From (x)= Arguments tab type in the Program Arguments window

and run . You should see output in your console similar to the output that is shown below:

9. Conclusion

In this article we have shown the basics of developing a Spring project in STS. Some of the things we have shown are execution of applications in STS, support during the development of Spring Data JPA and the usage of command-line arguments. However, there are many more useful features that may be employed during development as STS offers a rich set of features.

The full implementation of this article can be found in the github project – this is an Eclipse based project, so it should be easy to import and run as it is.

Creating Spring Boot Project Using STS

Spring Boot is one of the favorite items of Spring Framework, as it requires very minimal configuration, unlike Spring MVC. Spring Boot applications are easily configurable and have several other benefits to use for developing stand-alone Java applications. Spring Boot comes with,

• Embedded Tomcat
• ‘ Starter ‘ dependency for easy configuration
• Automatically configures other third-party libraries.
• Provides production features
• No need for XML configuration

Spring Tool Suite

Spring tool suite is an eclipse-based IDE built to develop Spring-framework applications.

Creating Spring Boot Project

If you haven’t installed the Spring tool suite, you can check here , how to install sts in your system.

Step 1: Once sts is ready in your system, click on the executable ( .exe ) file and it will open a prompt to select project location.

Step 2: You can leave this directory as it is or can change it accordingly. Click on OK and the Spring tool suite’s home screen will open.

Step 3: On the left side, click on file -> new -> spring starter project.

Step 4: A new window will open now, asking details for about your project

Description for each options shown in the above image is as follows-

• Let the service URL be the same as start.spring.io .
• Name your project anything you want to.
• Choose the type as maven
• Packaging as jar .
• Java version will be available based on the JDK installed on your device.
• Name group as com. <Enter a name accordingly>
• The default version will be ‘0.0.1’
• You can write your project description according to your project.

Step 5: Once these things are done, click on Next .

Step 6: You can leave the spring boot version as it is. Use the search box given to search for dependencies to add to the project as per your need. for the time being you can search ‘ web ‘ and select ‘ Spring web ‘ and ‘ Spring web services ‘.

Let’s say you want to perform any database operation in the project then you can go ahead and search for ‘ SQL ‘ and select ‘ Spring data JPA ‘ and ‘ MySql driver ‘. However, you can also add dependencies later using the Maven repository.

Note: Don’t add the JPA, MySQL dependencies if you don’t have MySQL configured in your system.

Step 7: Once you are done click on Finish .

Step 8: Now click on finish and wait till Spring boot configures all your dependencies. Now it completely depends on your device and internet speed and how much time it will take to finish the build. You can see the progress at the bottom of the window.

Step 9: Once it has completed the build, go ahead and check out your project.

Note: You can see the @SpringBootApplication annotation in the Gfg Application.java file denoting it as a Spring Boot Application. you can change dependencies by going to the pom.xml file and adding dependencies manually from mvn repository.

Step 10: Now, right-click on the blank portion and select run as , you should get an option of Spring Boot App , select that.

Step 11: Allow the Windows security prompt (if pops up).

Step 12: Now wait for the deployment on the local host, you will be able to see the port number, on which the application is running. (for most cases it is 8080 ).

Step 13: It’s showing Tomcat started on port 8080 , which means your application is running locally on port no 8080 . Now head over to your web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/ to check it.

If you can see this Whitelabel error page that means your spring application is successfully running. As there is no controller configured for routing and no views exist that’s why this page is showing up. Now can add your controllers and views as per your requirements and run your application.

Spring Boot is a framework and tool suite for developing and deploying Spring-based applications quickly and with very little configuration. It even comes with an embedded Tomcat Web server for running your applications as a standalone app!

Although Spring Boot is not associated with any particular IDE, being a Java tool set makes it a perfect candidate for development in Eclipse. As it happens, Spring offers the Spring Tool Suite (STS) for your favorite coding environment. Now at version 4, Spring Tools provides top-notch support for developing Spring-based enterprise applications in Eclipse, Visual Studio Code, and Atom IDE. In this tutorial, we’ll employ STS to create a basic Hello World Web app in Eclipse.

Installing STS

The easiest way to install STS is right from within Eclipse. Just select Help > Eclipse Marketplace… from the main menu and type “STS” in the search bar of the Eclipse Marketplace dialog. Once it appears in the search results, click the “install” button to proceed, as shown in Figure 1:

Creating a New Project

STS includes its own starter project to get you started. It is accessible from the New Project Wizard. Navigate to File > New > Other… from the main menu or press Ctrl+N on your keyboard to open the wizard. In the search field, type “spring”. You’ll see the “Spring Starter Project” in the “Spring Boot” folder, as you can see in Figure 2. Select it and confirm your choice by clicking on the “Next” button:

On the New Spring Starter Project dialog, you’ll have to choose a name for your project. Let’s call it “HelloWorld”. Select Maven as the build tool, and JAR packaging and your Java version. Assign a Group of “com.developer” for the package name. Artifact is the name of the JAR file you are going to build. For example, if you use “helloworld” as the artifact, the final JAR file will be called helloworld.jar. When you’re done, your project settings should match these shown in Figure 3:

Click Next.

In the New Spring Starter Project Dependencies window, use the search field and type “web” into it. Then, select the Web checkbox (see Figure 4).

You can click the Finish button now. STS will create the project for you and download all of the required dependencies.

The project will contain one main Java class, called HelloWorldApplication.java, as well as a Java class for testing purposes, an empty properties file, a Maven POM file, and two files to execute the application from the command line. Figure 5 shows the project structure and the content of the main class in the editor:

Setting the Request Mapping

Our app will know what content to show when we navigate to the root URL via a request mapping. Modify the SpringBootExampleApplication.java file as shown in the following code:

Running Your Application

In Eclipse, there’s no need to run the application from the command line. Just right-click your project and select Run As > Spring Boot App from the context menu, as demonstrated in Figure 6:

That will bootstrap the embedded Tomcat server, deploy your app, and map the URLs.

Once the application is started, launch your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to see our message, as shown in Figure 7:

Thanks to STS tooling, there’s no reason to build your Spring Boot apps from the command line. You can do all of your work within your favorite IDE.

Copyright ©2001-2010 FUDforum Bulletin Board Software Back to the top Sign up to our Newsletter A fresh new issue delivered monthly JavaSterling Java Tutorial, Frameworks and Programs Spring Boot Examples in STS (Spring Tool Suite) Spring boot project in sts ( spring tool suite). The STS (Spring Tool Suite) IDE is an eclipse-based IDE for developing the Spring Boot applications . It is the preferred IDE for importing and developing the Spring Boot Project. We can create or import Spring Boot projects in STS IDE . Let’s see some Spring Boot examples using STS IDE. In this section, we will see: How to Create a Spring Boot Project Using STS (Spring Tool Suite) How to Import a Spring Boot Project Using the STS (Spring Tool Suite) Let’s see how to create a Spring Boot project in STS IDE: How to Create a Spring Boot Project Using STS ( Spring Tool Suite) Below are the steps to create a Spring Boot Project using the STS: Open Spring Tool Suite Navigate to File menu-> New-> Maven Project Select the maven-archetype-quickstart and select Next from this window. Provide the Project Details Configure App.java file Configure pom.xml file Add Java Version inside the properties of pom.xml Add Dependencies in pom.xml file. Create a class file Define the run() method Add annotations in the class Run the Application However, the above steps seem like a complicated process. But, these steps are quite simple only need some attention. The Spring Initializr provides all of the above configurations by default. Let’s understand each step in detail: Step1: Open Spring Tool Suite The First step is to open the STS tool. Step2: Navigate to File Menu-> New-> Maven Project To create a new Spring Boot project, navigate to File Menu-> New-> other menu. Now it will open a select wizard, search for the Maven Project, and click Next to continue: Step3: Select the maven-archetype-quickstart Now, it will open a new maven project setup. Here, we can find a variety of maven projects. For the startup, select the maven-archtype-quickstart and hit Next to continue: Step4: Provide the Project Details in this step, enter the project details such as Group Id and Artifact Id . We have provided Group Id com. javasterling and Artifact Id spring-boot- sts-demo . Now, click on the Finish to complete the process. Now, we have created a maven project in Spring Tool Suite. The project structure will look as follows: Let’s configure it for Spring Boot. Step5: Configure the App.java file The App.java file can be found under the src/main/java directory within the package com.javasterling.Spring_Boot_Sts_Demo package. We don’t need to add any manual configuration to the App.java file; the following code is automatically generated: Step6: Configure pom.xml file A pom.xml file will be automatically generated to the Maven project. The default configuration code can be found in it: Step7: Add Java Version in pom.xml file Add a Java Version within the properties tag of the pom.xml file. For example, we are using Java 8, add the following statement in the pom.xml file: <java.version>1.8</java.version> Step8: Add Dependencies in pom.xml file To make this project a Spring Boot project, we have to add Spring Boot dependencies. Add spring boot starter parent and spring boot starter web dependencies in the pom.xml file. The parent is used to declaring that our project is a child to this parent project. Add the following dependency within the dependencies tag in pom.xml file: spring boot starter web: Now, save this file by stroking CTRL+S keys. When we save this file, it will start downloading the required jar files for Spring Boot. So, make sure you are connected to the internet. Step9: Create a class file Now, create a class file with the name SpringBootStsDemo in the package com.javasterling. To create a file, right-click on the package, navigate to the New -> Class -> menu, and provide the class details. Click on the Finish to create. It will create a class file with the specified details. Step10: Define the run() method Once the class file is created, call the static method run() of SpringApplication class. Below is the code to call the static method run() and passing the class name as an argument. Step11:Add annotations in the class Now, add an annotation in this class by adding an annotation @SpringBootApplication. A single @SpringBootApplication annotation enables the following annotations in our application: @EnableAutoConfiguration : It enables the Spring Boot auto-configuration mechanism. @ComponentScan : It scans the package where the application is located. @Configuration : It allows us to register extra beans in the context or import additional configuration classes. Now, our class file will look as follows: SpringBootStsDemo.java: We are all done and created our first application in STS IDE. Now, run our application. Step12: Run Application Now, run our application either by right-clicking on the project or the SpringBootStsDemo class file and select the Run As-> Java Application. It will produce the following output: As we can see from the output, the console is displaying that the application is up in 5.489 seconds and running. Hence, the above guide is for developing the Spring Boot application in STS IDE. Now, let’s understand how to import a project in STS ( Spring Tool Suite). How to Import a Spring Boot Project Using STS ( Spring Tool Suite) To import a Spring Boot project in STS (Spring Tool Suite) is a straight forward process. Follow the below steps to import and run a Spring Boot Project: Navigate to File -> Open Projects From File System Browse Project From the File System Select Project and Click Open Run Application To import project in Spring Tool Suite, the first step is to open it. Step2: Navigate to File -> Open Projects From File System Now, Navigate to the File menu-> Open projects from the file system. Select the Directory option to browse the local directory. Step3: Brose Project From File System Now navigate the directory where you have downloaded the project and select it. Step4: Select project and Click Open It will select our project. Now, click Finish to complete the process. Hence, we have successfully imported a Spring Boot Project in STS. Now, it will take a while to load the dependencies and download the required files. Makes sure you are connected to an internet connection. Now, we are ready to run our application. Step5: Run Application To run this project, right-click on the project and select Run As-> Java Application . It may ask you to select the Java Application. Select the SpringBootDemoApplication and hit OK to continue. It will take a few seconds to load the application content and run our project. From the above snap of output, we can see the application is up in 1.642 seconds and running.

Eclipse - How to "Change package declaration to ...." across an entire project I've just imported a large amount of source code into Eclipse and basically the package name is no longer valid (the code has been moved folders). Is there a way to select all the source code in the Package Explorer and hit a hotkey so that all package declarations are correctly resolved for me? I know you can do this with imports by selecting the source and hitting ctl-shift-o, but is also possible for the package declaration? Update: Refactoring the packages doesn't work as I don't want to change the name or location of the packages, I just need to adjust the package declaration in the Java source code. 7 Answers 7 If the package declarations are no longer valid, then all such invalid declarations would appear in the Problems view in Eclipse. If you do not see this view, you can open it from Window-> Show View -> Other... -> Problems (under the General tab). You can filter on problems in the Problems view and correct easily correctable ones, by choosing the Quick fix option in the context menu (available on a right-click). In your case you should see something similar to the screenshot posted below: Applying the quick fix options is trivial, as long as you know which one is correct - you would either have to change the package declaration in the class, or the location of the class itself. Unfortunately there is no option to fix the issue across multiple units at one go; you will have to apply the quick fix for every problem. If you want to filter on problems of only this variety, consider configuring the Problems view to show all errors that have the text content "does not match the expected package" in the error text, as demonstrated in the following screenshots: Great response - screen shots and all ;) –  Kevin Parker Commented Aug 21, 2012 at 17:18 For this particular problem (which usually comes with auto generated artifact files), I found a neat solution. So if the issue is that your package declarations is "package abc;" in 200 files, and you want it to be "package com.aa.bb.cc.abc;" Then in eclipse, Search->File for "package abc;" in required folder or pkg or whole workspace. Don't select Search option but select "Replace" and then put "package com.aa.bb.cc.abc;" when it asks for the replacement after search. Should do the trick. 1 Awesome! I've used Eclipse for 7 years but never seen 'Replace...' button. –  user and Commented Jan 16, 2014 at 10:36 Right click on the package, select Refactor > Rename. This will update all source files with the new package name. 1 This doesn't work, it requires you to rename the packages. I don't want to rename or move them, I just need the "package blah.blah.blah in the source code to be updated to the right package folder. –  Stephane Grenier Commented Jul 28, 2011 at 21:14 @Stephane, Refactoring isn't working because refactoring doesn't fix your errors, it maneuvers code without errors to be structured differently. You should move the new package to an empty project location, refactor it to match your used blah.blah.blah package imported in your source, move it back with your source, and then you can refactor the way you want to. –  Atreys Commented Jul 28, 2011 at 21:22 This worked for me because I did it after I renamed the package, then went to windows operating system and renamed the folder, then came back to eclipse and rename>refactor. –  Amy McBlane Commented Apr 25, 2015 at 17:04 It worked for me rename it and do a rename again if you dont want to change the package name –  fjkjava Commented Jul 11, 2019 at 18:16 I just had the same problem so I wrote a bash script to do it. The sed command used is the one on OSX. If you're using gnu sed, then you don't need the '' paramater after the -i . Just paste it in and run it on the directory containing your source. Backup your source first unless you're very brave. I really should start doing this stuff in a more modern language like perl :) This should do the trick for you. Import all your files into the default package first and then drag them into the new package, JDT will do the refactoring and change the package declarations across the project. It is an old question, but I ran into the same problem and wrote a very simple bash script. Hope it will help someone. Basically, the script traverses all java files inside a directory, and each occurrence of package com.example.something; replaces with package com.example.something_else; . ALT+SHIFT+R add underscore at end of package name, hit ENTER twice ALT+SHIFT+R delete the underscore, ENTER twice Done if there are few packages.
