How do I set up the config files for a Spring Boot project?

I am following a tutorial to learn about java web applications, and the person who made the tutorial used spring boot to make a project. They used IntelliJ as their IDE, but I want to use replit. I imported the project folder into a blank repl, but was confused with how to set up the .replit and replit.nix files for the project, even after I had read the README.md files and looked at the resources. Does anyone know what I have to do?

Here is the project url: https://replit.com/@LegoWizardCode/Java-Web-Application

Hi @LegoWizardCode!

I recommend you just use the official Java template instead of trying to manually set it up yourself.

So the java template works for projects right out of the spring initializr?

Ok so I’ve done a bit of research and I think you should use this template instead:

It’s not official but I think it’s better than setting it up by yourself on the Java template.

I’m not completely sure if it works, and if it doesn’t… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess someone with more knowledge of Java can help you.

The template does not seem to work, even without my code. I think the java is an outdated version. Thanks for trying though.

Here’s the link to the Spring Initializr if you need it:

We’ve already taken a look at that, and youngchief has finished it IIRC. @youngchief send the template?

Yeah, here’s the template: https://replit.com/@youngchief/JavaSpring
If it works for you, could you mark my post as the solution?

Alright, I’ll see if it works.

@youngchief, The template runs correctly, but there is no output window or any way to view the website.

@youngchief Don’t fix anything with the template just yet because I am going to check if there is a step I am missing in the tutorial I am following that will set up the web view.

I already had made it? Just use my template. The webview popped up right away and it seems fully functional.

Really? When I click the run button, all that shows up is the console.

I just noticed that replit said my RAM was maxed out when I ran the repl. Could that be the issue?

Oops, I forgot to remove something during testing. Try it now.

One thing to note is that Java is known for being resource hungry so I wouldn’t worry too much about the resources bar at the bottom left.

@youngchief Quick question, what does Whitelabel Error Page mean? That is showing up in the webview now.
