IntelliJ IDEA CE and Spring Boot

You can create Application configuration

  • Set correct SDK
  • Enable and set Environment Variables(using Modify options)
    • set Spring Boot profile using SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE key

Pretty simple, as both link you attached say you created your project with Spring Initializr, and if it is a maven project, then follow these steps mentioned below:

  • click on File option
  • click Open option
  • navigate to your project and choose pom.xml file [if not a maven project, choose your configuration.xml file, if something else, just select the project folder]
  • press Ok. And you are done
  • now, open idea terminal and run mvn clean install(I assume you have installed maven) or, just select project->right click->choose maven-> click on Reimport maven option. Now run mvn clean build All are set now.

As everyone else mentioned, use https://start.spring.io to start your Spring Boot project. Download and open in IntelliJ Community Edition.

Where you will face some difficulty is in running the project; - Ultimate Edition has a Spring Boot plugin that is missing in Community Edition.

You may get errors especially if your main folder of your project is one level higher than the root of your IntelliJ project.

For this, use the Maven run option.

Edit Configuration and Click the + to create a new Maven configuration

Apart from the spring initialiser, in my experience no where else do you need an ultimate edition to work with spring boot, you can use Spring Intialiser

But there is a plugin as rightly mentioned by other Spring assistant which you can download from the plugin section which you can access from setting inside intellJ Idea.

For configuration instead of actually going in the edit configuration option of intellJ Idea you can just run the application and that would automatically have your configuration loaded and there onwards you can always use it.

Just go to the below mentioned:

https://start.spring.io/

Fill the information regarding Project(Maven, Java, spring-version(Select version only have digits(for eg:2.6.2))). Don't select "snapshot" version.

Fill project Metadata information and click on Generate file. It will create jar file. Unzip it and open your IntelliJ and select "Open->select this Unzip folder and select "pom.xml" file inside this package and open as project.

Extending @Prashant's answer

If you are not able to find Spring Assistant plugin within IntelliJ Community Edition, Go to Plugin's website and then click on GET button, Choose Compatibility with IntelliJ IDEA Community and then click Download.

Spring Assistant Plugin Website

The rest of the procedure remains the same as described by @Prashant.

Also if you want to change your Port, then select Modify Options and select Add VM Options, and paste

-Dserver.port=8090

in that VM Options textbox and then run the application.

You can install a plugin called Spring Assistant: Spring Assistant Now you can use the initializer as: Using initializer Personally, however, I use Spring initializer at start.spring.io

EDIT: Adding run configuration
Select Edit Configuration from the Run menu Run menu Now in the dialog box, lick on the + button and select Application. Run Configuration dialog Now you just need to provide the name of the main class. You could click on the browse button(...) to get a list of files having main(...). Select class with main()
