Create Micronaut Maven Project
Create a new Micronaut Maven project through SDKMAN-managed tooling, aligned with Java 25 and the repository's Micronaut 4.x baseline.
What is covered in this Skill?
- Verify SDKMAN and Java availability before project creation
- Install or select the required Java and Micronaut CLI candidates through SDKMAN
- Gather project coordinates, package name, Java version, features, and target directory
- Create a Maven project with the Micronaut CLI
- Prefer Maven wrapper commands for validation
- Verify the generated project with Maven before reporting completion
Constraints
Project creation must be explicit, reproducible, and Maven-based.
- PREREQUISITE: Verify SDKMAN is installed with
sdk version; if missing, stop and provide setup guidance instead of installing it silently
- JAVA BASELINE: Prefer Java 25 unless the user requests another supported version
- FRAMEWORK BASELINE: Target the current Micronaut 4.x line by default
- BUILD TOOL: Generate a Maven project, not Gradle
- SAFETY: Do not overwrite an existing non-empty target directory without explicit user confirmation
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verify from the generated project when the Maven wrapper exists; otherwise run mvn clean verify
- BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for the full SDKMAN and Micronaut CLI workflow
When to use this skill
- Create a Micronaut Maven project
- Bootstrap Micronaut project with SDKMAN
- Generate a new Micronaut service
Workflow
- Read reference and gather project inputs
Read references/500-frameworks-micronaut-create-project.md, then gather project directory, group, artifact, package name, Java version, application type, and desired Micronaut features.
- Verify SDKMAN-managed tooling
Check SDKMAN, Java, and Micronaut CLI availability. Install or switch candidates only after confirming the intended versions with the user.
- Create the Maven project
Use the Micronaut CLI to create a Maven project, keeping features explicit and the Micronaut 4.x baseline as the default.
- Verify and report
Run Maven verification in the generated project and summarize commands used, selected options, generated path, and any follow-up setup.
