batch-web-spring-boot-starter 2.0.1 released

Java Batch is still a hot topic in enterprise environments these days, but how do you do it the right way? The project batch-web-spring-boot-starter offers a best practice approach to modern batch architectures, answering the following questions:

• How do I actually deploy jobs?
• How do I start, stop and monitor them?
• How do I integrate them into my company’s infrastructure?
• How do I build job artifacts?

It builds on Spring Batch, Spring Boot and JSR-352, and it’s one of codecentric’s open source projects.

The version 2.0.1.RELEASE has just been released and is available on Maven Central:

1<dependency>
2    <groupId>de.codecentric</groupId>
3    <artifactId>batch-web-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
4    <version>2.0.1.RELEASE</version>
5</dependency>

New features include:

• Upgrade to Spring Boot 2.0.3.RELEASE
• Renamed maven artifact – formerly known as spring-boot-starter-batch-web (see Spring Boot Starter naming guidelines )
• Naming scheme of batch metrics changed while Spring Boot 2.x added Micrometer to publish metrics
• Renamed some properties (take a look at the documentation )
