Steps for initial setup

1. Go to Spring Initializer (start.spring.io)

a. Project = maven

b. Language = Java

c. Spring Boot = Latest non snapshot version (In my case it was 3.5.3)

d. package = mayank.anup

e. artifact = noteservice

f. Add dependencies

i. Spring Web

ii. Spring Data JPA

iii. H2 DB (In memory low footprint db)

iv. Rest Repositories

g. Packaging = Jar

h. Java version - 24 (At the time)

2. Generate zip. Download it and unzip in your chosen folder

3. Compile

mvn clean install

If successful it will generate a target folder with noteservice-*.jar

4. Run

java -jar target\noteservice-*.jar

You should see log message on console saying Tomcat started on port 8080

5. Verify in browser

Goto http://localhost:8080/ You should see

{
  "_links" : {
    "profile" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost:8080/profile"
    }
  }
}
