• I wanted to take a moment to warn you of the dangers of the internet and posts like this that seek only to encourage disabling the banners of Spring Boot-based applications. This is a terrible idea! How will you ever get Amazing banners like this Nyan Cat banner and the ImageBanner PR proposed here? I wasn't originally going to include this article in This Week in Spring (as a matter of principle!) but was consoled upon this epic response from the epic IntellIJ IDEA developer Yann Cébron demonstrating that the checkbox that previously disabled the Spring Boot banner was no longer enabled! :D
• there's an interesting example of configuring OpenUI5 based on Spring Boot
• Our pal Nicolas Frankel's written up a nice blog on managing logs with Spring Boot
• Want to use Apache CXF with Spring Boot (in 2016) to build a SOAP web service?
• I did an interview with InfoQ on Spring Boot, Spring Cloud and microservices in general
• Speaking of IntellIJ, the first preview of the new version 16 is out and contains updated support for Spring MVC, Spring framework, and Spring Boot as well as updated Kotlin support! Check out the bits and file issues if you discover anything
