Tell about your experience creating your own starter templates or template solutions.

In my experience creating starter templates for Java projects, I usually create a basic structure with build configurations (Maven or Gradle), standard dependencies, and configurations for logging, testing, and database interaction. Such a template allows for quickly launching new projects without reconfiguration.

For example, I created a template with:

• a basic REST controller on Spring Boot,
• configuration for database connection,
• logging settings via Logback,
• an example unit test with JUnit.

This speeds up the development start and ensures consistency across team projects.
