Spring Boot helps you quickly get started with building a Spring-based web app in no time. All you need to do is go to Eclipse IDE, create a new Spring Starter Project and that is it. This is provided you installed Eclipse plugin, Spring Tools (aka Spring IDE and Spring Tool Suite) by going to Help > Eclipse Marketplace… and searching for “spring tools” keyword.
Often, one wants to run a Spring Boot app as a Java application as like a traditional Java program and test different parts of their app.
In this post, you will get a template code for quickly getting started with Command Liner which would help you to execute your Spring boot app as a Java application.
Spring Boot App with CommandLineRunner
I create a spring started a project with the name as recruiterbot. I got the following code:
package com.vitalflux.rbot;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class RecruiterbotApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(RecruiterbotApplication.class, args);
}
}
In order to work with command line, all you need to do is implement an interface CommandLineRunner. The following code represents the same.
@SpringBootApplication
public class RecruiterbotApplication implements CommandLineRunner {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(RecruiterbotApplication.class);
app.run(args);
}
@Override
public void run(String... arg0) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}
To run the Spring Boot as Java application from within Eclipse, right-click on the program, RecruiterBotApplication and click Run As / Java Application.
