dashx-spring-boot-starter is the fastest way to integrate with DashX in your Spring Boot applications.

See the dashx-demo-spring-boot project for a complete example of how to use this starter.

brew install java 

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash 

sdk install gradle 8.12 

This project uses gradle wrapper, to initialize it, run:

gradle wrapper 

You can build the project using:

gradle build 

To do a clean build, run:

gradle clean 

before the build command.

To start the demo application, run:

gradle dashx-demo-spring-boot:bootRun 

Now you should be able to see the greeting message on http://localhost:8080.

To see all the available gradle commands, run:

gradle -q :tasks --all 

You will need gnupg to generate the signing keys. If you don't have it installed, please run:

brew install gnupg gnupg2 

gpg --full-generate-key 

• Select “RSA and RSA” (default)
• Enter key size → 4096 (recommended for security)
• Set expiration → Choose 1y (1 year) or 0 (no expiration)
• Enter name & email → Should match your Sonatype account
• Set a strong passphrase

First, list your gpg keys using:

gpg --list-keys --keyid-format LONG 

You should see something like this:

pub rsa4096/3AA5C34371567BD2 2024-01-01 [SC] .... 

3AA5C34371567BD2 is your GPG key id.

Since you'll be using this key to sign the release files, other people would need your public key to verify the signature. To distribute your public key, please run:

gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys 3AA5C34371567BD2 

You can find more information regarding this here.

gpg-agent --daemon 

In order for GPG agent to work properly, you might need to put the following in your ~/.zshrc file:

export GPG_TTY=$(tty) 

Don't forget to run source ~/.zshrc after updating your ~/.zshrc file.

To publish to Maven Central repository, you will first need to generate the user token in your Sonatype account. You can do so by clicking on the User icon in the top right corner -> View Account -> Generate User Token.

You can then supply credentials to the publishing task by setting them in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file. You might already have ~/.gradle folder but no gradle.properties file in it. If that's the case, please go ahead and create this file and set the following values in it:

mavenCentralUsername=GENERATED_TOKEN_USERNAME mavenCentralPassword=GENERATED_TOKEN_PASSWORD signing.keyId=GPG_KEY_ID signing.password=GPG_KEY_PASSPHRASE 

Please make sure you've set the new version number in the build file before publishing.

To publish the new version, run:

gradle publish 

If all goes correctly, you should be able to see a new deployment in your Sonatype account.
