start.spring.io default to Maven

On the 18th of October 2022 https://start.spring.io switched the default build tool from Maven to Gradle spring-io/start.spring.io#1012.

By adding this extension to a Chromium (Chrome, Brave etc) or Firefox browser, the default build tool switches back to Maven.

How to add this extension to your browser?

This extension is not published (yet) to Chrome Store. To add it to your browser:

1. Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/maciejwalkowiak/start-spring-io-default-maven-extension

2. Run make build
3. Install extension:

• Chrome: Go to chrome://extensions, enable "Developer Mode" and load the unpacked extension from build/chrome directory.
• Firefox: Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox and load the temporary add-on from build/firefox directory.

Enjoy!
