+This quick start provides step-by-step instructions for a simple scenario of sending messages to a Service Bus queue and receiving them. You can find prebuilt Java samples for Azure Service Bus in the [Azure SDK for Java repository on GitHub](https://github.com/azure/azure-sdk-for-java/tree/main/sdk/servicebus/azure-messaging-servicebus/src/samples).

 > [!TIP]
-> If you're working with Azure Service Bus resources in a Spring application, we recommend that you consider [Spring Cloud Azure](/azure/developer/java/spring-framework/) as an alternative. Spring Cloud Azure is an open-source project that provides seamless Spring integration with Azure services. To learn more about Spring Cloud Azure, and to see an example using Service Bus, see [Spring Cloud Stream with Azure Service Bus](/azure/developer/java/spring-framework/configure-spring-cloud-stream-binder-java-app-with-service-bus).
