How deep it goes

Explains the POM’s role and shows its generated XML, but postpones detailed configuration-property treatment.

Examples

What it assumes

Assumes a project generated with Spring Initializr and Maven selected, while introducing the POM’s purpose from the project structure.

What you can do after

Operate Maven Wrapper commands to package, run, and test a generated Spring Boot application.

How it connects
