Java Setup
The setup I should follow when setting up a Java project with Spring. As I rarely use Java for non-web stuff, the use of Spring is a given.
Use Spring Boot and start.spring.io to create a project.
Use spring-javaformat to
prettify the code and use Spring
Checkstyle coding standards. The IntelliJ
IDEA plugin has to be downloaded manually and installed from a JAR file. Configure Checkstyle using
the following checkstyle.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE module PUBLIC
"-//Checkstyle//DTD Checkstyle Configuration 1.3//EN"
"https://checkstyle.org/dtds/configuration_1_3.dtd">
<module name="com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.Checker">
<module name="io.spring.javaformat.checkstyle.SpringChecks">
<property name="headerType" value="unchecked"/>
<property name="projectRootPackage" value="com.example"/>
</module>
</module>
And suppress the following checks with suppressions.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE suppressions PUBLIC
"-//Checkstyle//DTD SuppressionFilter Configuration 1.2//EN"
"https://checkstyle.org/dtds/suppressions_1_2.dtd">
<suppressions>
<suppress checks="SpringImportOrder"/>
<suppress checks="AvoidStarImport"/>
</suppressions>
