Creating new projects from scratch is a common task in today’s world. Often, this involves manually setting up folders and files or using tools like Spring Initializr, Micronaut Launch, Eclipse Starter for Jakarta EE, Quarkus Starter, or IntelliJ to streamline the initial setup. But what if there was a way to automate and standardise these tasks, taking your project setup to the next level?

While these tools are excellent for generating a basic “Hello World” application, they often fall short when it comes to adding project-specific configurations and components that are standard within your organisation. As a result, you might find yourself spending time in a tedious and error-prone process such as copy-pasting parts of similar applications, renaming files, and replacing variables.
