Initializer view with minimal option to build a spring boot project,lets us discuss the field for basic understanding.
  1. Project-This gives us the option to select the project as Maven or Gradle based. In this post, we choose Maven. This selection generates a pom.xml file for our project.
  2. Language-Which programming language to use(we choose java),you have option to select  Kotlin or Groovy.
  3. Spring Boot :Here you can select the Spring Boot version.
  4. Group-The groupId attribute in Apache Maven, also known as the id of the project’s group.
  5. Artifact-Name of the project.
  6. Dependencies-Here you can add the dependencies according to your project like I'm selecting Spring web,refer below snapshot.


 
 
Few Advance properties 
  • Description-Description of project.
  • Package name-Root package of the project. If not specified, the value of the Group attribute used.
  • Java-Here you can select the java versions which you have installed.
Click on Generate, your Spring boot project will downloaded as a Zip file,Unzip the downloaded zip file and import it into your favorite Eclipse IDE.
