Spring Boot is an excellent tool to bootstrap java application. Most of the references mention how to create a standalone java application, optionally with embedded web server (tomcat or jetty). But Spring Boot supports also creating web applications intended to run within servlet container.
When developing java web application it is often annoying to manage third-party javascript libraries. Especially, when it is necessary to upgrade some of them.
The project “WebJars” makes a life easier for such lazyefficient developers, like me :-)
There is a wide range of popular javascript libraries packaged int Jar archives and ready to be included as a dependencies into your project. It is described in the documentation how to configure resource mapping in a web framework of your choice.
