Before you start, make sure you’re familiar with Spring Boot and the Maven project structure.

  1. Go to https://start.spring.io/ and fill in your project info:
    The Spring Initializr window with fields to enter information
  2. Click GENERATE to generate and download your default Spring Boot project.
  3. Make the following changes in your project:
    1. Change the parent of the Maven project (i.e. in pom.xml) so it uses the Alfresco Java SDK.
    2. Delete the Spring Boot test dependency in the POM file, and also the test source (i.e. org/alfresco/tutorial/sdk5demo/Sdk5DemoApplicationTests.java).

      Your project file should look like this now:
