Project Creation

Spring Initializr 🌏 - https://start.spring.io/

Lombok - A prominent Java library for annotations(@) and reduces boilerplate code

MySQL Driver - A library that allows Java applications to connect and communicate with a MySQL database. In Java, this driver is typically provided by a JAR file called mysql-connector-java, which implements the JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) API to establish connections, execute SQL queries, and retrieve results from the MySQL database.

Spring Data JPA - It helps in managing Relational databases and allows to access and persist data between Java Classes and Relational database

Spring Web - Useful library for building RESTful applications and Spring MVC

On creating the package and extracting, the java folder looks like this

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;  
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;  
  
@SpringBootApplication  
public class SpringbootpracticeApplication {  
  public static void main(String[] args) {  
    SpringApplication.run(SpringbootpracticeApplication.class, args);  
  }  
}
