In this latest post about Kotlin support in Spring plugins in IntelliJ IDEA, we’d like to point out that Spring Boot is also fully supported for Kotlin. When you run a Kotlin main function that starts a Spring Boot application, it will be automatically recognized as a Spring Boot Run configuration:

create-spring-boot-full

Runtime beans information becomes available via Endpoints:

RuntimeDiagrams-full

In addition to static-analysis-based gutters, there are runtime dependencies gutter hints appearing near bean declarations:

RuntimeGutters-full

If you add Spring Boot Actuator to your project, you’ll get additional support for navigating to and testing Spring MVC handlers:

http-requests2-full

If you use Kotlin to develop Spring Boot apps, especially web services, these features should be a lot of help. Check out other features for Spring in IntelliJ IDEA!
