if all goes well, both apps should build properly

SBA=spring-boot-admin

to start SBA right click on src/main/java/com/example/demo/springbootadmin/SpringBootAdminApplication.java and hit Run

then in the browser http://localhost:8080

SBA starts and begins to listen to apps Since no apps are running, SBA now should show application count as 0

Differences between these apps and our apps

our apps use gradle to build but these use maven. no big deal just saying..

next start my-app. this app represents the application managed by SBA. to do this, right click src/main/java/com/example/demo/myapp/MyAppApplication.java and hit Run

SBA now should show application count as 1
