Quarkus
Quarkus is a Kubernetes-native Java framework mainly aimed at building microservices. IntelliJ IDEA provides the following:
Coding assistance specific to Quarkus
Integration with the Bean Validation, CDI, and Endpoints tool windows
A dedicated project creation wizard based on code.quarkus.io
A dedicated run configuration for Quarkus applications.
Create a new Quarkus project
From the main menu, select
.In the New Project wizard, select Quarkus and choose the Default starter service https://code.quarkus.io.
Click Next.
Configure the necessary Quarkus project settings and click Next.
Select the necessary extensions for your application and click Next.
If necessary, change the project name, location, and other settings. Click Finish.
The generated project contains a REST endpoint named ExampleResource
with the following code:
You can open the Endpoints tool window ( ) and see this endpoint:
Run the Quarkus application
IntelliJ IDEA creates a Quarkus run configuration that executes the necessary Maven goal or Gradle task.
Select the Quarkus run configuration in the main toolbar and click or press Shift+F10.
Alternatively, you can press Alt+Shift+F10 and select the necessary run configuration.
If successful, you should see the output log in the Run tool window.
By default, the application starts on http://localhost:8080. Open this address in a web browser to see the Quarkus landing page:
If you open the http://localhost:8080/hello
endpoint, you will see the string Hello RESTEasy
.
The default configuration runs your Quarkus application in development mode, which enables background compilation. For example, you can change the string returned by the hello()
method in the ExampleResource
class to Hello from a modified Quarkus endpoint
and you will see this new string after you refresh http://localhost:8080/hello
without restarting your application.
