Have you created your own Spring Boot Starter for a project?

Yes, creating a custom Spring Boot Starter is a good way to encapsulate common configurations, dependencies, and settings that can be reused across multiple projects.
Main steps to create your own starter package:
- Create a separate Maven/Gradle module with the dependencies you want to include.
- Add auto-configuration using
@Configurationand@ConditionalOn...annotations for flexible activation. - Register auto-configuration in
META-INF/spring.factories. - Publish the artifact to a local or remote repository.
Example auto-configuration:
@Configuration
@ConditionalOnClass(SomeLibrary.class)
public class MyStarterAutoConfiguration {
@Bean
public MyService myService() {
return new MyService();
}
}
This allows your starter dependencies to automatically wire in the necessary beans and configurations when added to a project, without additional code.
