Hipster stack for Java developers

Presentation

If you want to help, we put tasks on our Github issues page

This is a Yeoman generator, used to create a Yeoman + Maven + Spring + AngularJS project.

You can install and use it easily:

• See the Yeoman community generators page or
• Go get the official package on npmjs.org

Goals

Generate a complete and modern Web app, unifying:

• Maven on the server side
• Yeoman + Bower + Grunt on the client side

Usage

To generate your application, type:

yo jhipster

Once the application is generated, you can launch the Java server with Maven:

mvn jetty:run

The application will be available on http://localhost:8080

You can also run Grunt to work on the client-side JavaScript application:

grunt server

This should open up your Web browser, with live reload enabled, on http://localhost:9000

If you want to go further, and use hot reloading both on the client and the server side, please go to this Wiki page.

Technology stack on the server side

• "development" and "production" profiles
• Spring Security
• Spring MVC REST + Jackson
• Spring Data JPA + Bean Validation
• Database updates with Liquibase

Ready to go into production :

Technology stack on the client side

Single Web page application :
