This tutorial shows how to Create Spring Boot Project using IntelliJ free Community edition
● Create Spring Boot Project (use https://start.spring.io/ Web App that implements Spring Initializer)
● Import Spring Boot Project into IntelliJ (Maven loads dependency JARs)
Community edition doesn't support functionality to create Spring Project directly from within IntelliJ IDE.
Therefore we use https://start.spring.io/ to select Spring Boot Starters (Maven dependencies).
Downloaded Spring Project will not contain any Java Classes. Maven downloads them after importing Project to IntelliJ.
