Create a new Spring Boot Java project (Maven or Gradle) from start.spring.io with sensible defaults for configuration, PostgreSQL, logging, security, testing and Docker. Use when asked to scaffold, bootstrap or generate a Spring Boot application. Detects existing project versions and never upgrades implicitly.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Create a Spring Boot Java project Scaffold a Spring Boot application with [start.spring.io](https://start.spring.io), then apply a small set of opinionated defaults. Out of scope for now: front-ends (Vue/React/Angular), cloud deployment (Azure), Git setup, CRaC and AOT images. ## Step 0: Detect before you create - If the working directory already contains a `pom.xml` or `build.gradle(.kts)`, this is an **existing project**: do not regenerate it. Read its Spring Boot, Java and test-framework versions and follow them. **Never upgrade versions implicitly**; propose an upgrade and wait for the user's decision. - Check the tools: `java -version` (JDK matching the chosen Java version), `docker --version` (needed for Testcontainers and Compose). On the default path (current Boot via start.spring.io) Maven/Gradle need not be installed: the generated wrapper is used. The Boot 3.5 fallback needs Maven or Gradle installed once to create the wrapper (see [versions.md](references/versions.md)). …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/create-spring-boot-java-project@sha256:b4b65b9346868546The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.202ca3b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
