Spring Boot Project Creator

# Spring Boot Project Creator

## Overview

Generates a fully configured Spring Boot project from scratch using the Spring Initializr API. The skill walks the user through selecting project parameters, choosing an architecture style (DDD or Layered), configuring data stores, and setting up Docker Compose for local development. The result is a build-ready project with standardized structure, dependency management, and configuration.

## When to Use

- Bootstrap a new Spring Boot 3.x or 4.x project with a standard structure.
- Initialize a backend microservice with JPA, SpringDoc OpenAPI, and Docker Compose.
- Scaffold a project following either DDD (Domain-Driven Design) or Layered (Controller/Service/Repository/Model) architecture.
- Set up local development infrastructure with PostgreSQL, Redis, and/or MongoDB via Docker Compose.
- Trigger phrases: **"create spring boot project"**, **"new spring boot app"**, **"bootstrap java project"**, **"scaffold spring boot microservice"**, **"initialize spring boot backend"**, **"generate spring boot project"**.

## Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure the following tools are installed:

- **Java Development Kit (JDK)**: Version 17+ (Java 21 recommended for Spring Boot 3.x/4.x)
- **Apache Maven**: Build tool (Spring Initializr generates Maven projects by default)
- **Docker** and **Docker Compose**: For running local infrastructure services
- **curl** and **unzip**: For downloading and extracting the project from Spring Initializr

## Instructions

Follow these steps to create a new Spring Boot project.

### 1. Gather Project Configuration

Ask the user for the following project parameters using **AskUserQuestion**. Provide sensible defaults:

| Parameter | Default | Options |
|-----------|---------|---------|
| **Group ID** | `com.example` | Any valid Java package name |
| **Artifact ID** | `demo` | Kebab-case identifier |
| **Package Name** | Same as Group ID | Valid Java package |
| **Spring Boot Version** | `3.4.5` | `3.4.x`, `4.0.x` (check start.spring.io for latest) |
| **Java Version** | `21` | `17`, `21` |
| **Architecture** | User choice | `DDD` or `Layered` |
| **Docker Services** | User choice | PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB (multi-select) |
| **Build Tool** | `maven` | `maven`, `gradle` |

### 2. Generate Project with Spring Initializr

Use `curl` to download the project scaffold from start.spring.io.

**Base dependencies** (always included):
- `web` — Spring Web MVC
- `validation` — Jakarta Bean Validation
- `data-jpa` — Spring Data JPA
- `testcontainers` — Testcontainers support

**Conditional dependencies** (based on Docker Services selection):
- PostgreSQL selected → add `postgresql`
- Redis selected → add `data-redis`
- MongoDB selected → add `data-mongodb`

```bash
# Example for Spring Boot 3.4.5 with PostgreSQL only
curl -s https://start.spring.io/starter.zip \
  -d type=maven-project \
  -d language=java \
  -d bootVersion=3.4.5 \
  -d groupId=com.example \
  -d artifactId=demo \
  -d packageName=com.example \
  -d javaVersion=21 \
  -d packaging=jar \
  -d dependencies=web,data-jpa,postgresql,validation,testcontainers \
  -o starter.zip

unzip -o starter.zip -d ./demo
rm starter.zip
cd demo
```

### 3. Add Additional Dependencies

Edit `pom.xml` to add SpringDoc OpenAPI and ArchUnit for architectural testing.

```xml
<!-- SpringDoc OpenAPI -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
    <artifactId>springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui</artifactId>
    <versio
