Running the Maven build from IDE

All popular IDEs, such as Eclipse, Netbeans, and IntelliJ IDEA, support Java 11 and Spring. You can use any of the preferred IDEs having Java 11 support.

Here, we use the Maven executable to package the generated JAR file. The steps for this are as follows:

1. Right-click on the pom.xml file for Eclipse/NetBeans IDE. For IntelliJ, use the Run menu.
2. For NetBeans, select Run Maven | Goals... from the pop-up menu. It will open the dialog. Type spring-boot:run in the Goals field. We have used the released version of Spring Boot in the code. However, if you are using the snapshot release, you can check the Update Snapshots checkbox. To use it in the future, type spring-boot-run in the Remember as field. For Eclipse/IntelliJ IDEA, use the respective fields.

1. Next time, you could directly click Run | Maven | Goals | spring-boot-run to execute the project or on the basis of a similar option in the respective IDE:

1. Click OK to execute the project.
