What components or modules did you add or configure in your last project?

In my latest Java project, I added and configured the following components:

• Spring Boot for simplifying configuration and application startup.
• Spring Security for implementing user authentication and authorization.
• Hibernate (JPA) for database interaction through ORM.
• REST API using Spring MVC for frontend interaction.
• Swagger for API documentation.
• Maven for dependency management and project build.

For example, to configure Spring Security, I added a configuration class:

@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .csrf().disable()
            .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/api/public/**").permitAll()
            .anyRequest().authenticated()
            .and()
            .httpBasic();
    }
}

This allowed me to secure the API and set up basic authentication.
