Recently, I found an online web project, Initializr which is very useful to quickly download a template HTML project of the following types and, get started with a static web project within minutes.
All that one need to do is go to Initializr.com, select a template type and download the HTML template project. In fact, the Initialzr project (GAE based) itself is an open-source and could be downloaded from GitHub. I downloaded it and ran locally on my laptop. I was able to create the template project locally, without going to Initializr.com.
Create a GAE/Spring MVC template consisting of folders and files that could be imported into new GAE web application project. Note that this is a one-time activity. This project is primarily a folder consisting of following two folders with below-mentioned files:
package com.vflux.core;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
@Controller
public class HelloController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView index( ModelMap model ) {
return new ModelAndView("index");
}
}

These step need to be done for every new project.
That is it! Once done with above, go ahead and right-click on the project and click on “Run as/Web Application”
