Spring Tips: Be Lazy AND Fast with Spring Boot 2.2

Hi Spring fans! Welcome to a quick, mid-interregnum installment of Spring Tips in which we look at a few features that let you be both lazy AND fast in Spring Boot 2.2!

I really do not like the fact that they no longer list all of the potential dependencies at the initializer. I sometimes don't know all the dependencies that I want to use by name, and having the whole list of options there was very handy. Please, Josh, use your Bootiful Superpowers for good and help get that change reverted! Animated banners for life!

Upgraded from Spring Boot 1.5 to 2.2, was shocked by the number of serious, crippling, bugs we ran into in the new versions of Spring libraries.
Luckily we eventually found workarounds to them, but it's got us as an organisation that relies heavily on Spring to start internal discussions if maybe we should look for alternatives that are more reliable and have better quality.

Nyan cat as progress took my attention

Nice video, but the noverify option is deprecated in jdk 13 and will most probably be removed in future versions. The arguments against this option are also valid for older versions (let application be open for malicious code), so I guess it could be already considered as a bad practice to use it in any version.

With intellij and "Enable launch optimization" on, you don't have to add -noverify.

thanks, cool presentation
What's the name of plugin which provides that cat instead of boring loading bar at the bottom of the IDEA window?

It's very cool.And I would like to know, how to set the shortcut prompt at the bottom? Thanks!

Don't need to use TDD any more, as we have Spring Dev Tools and CURL. Nice :)
