500 Frameworks Micronaut Create Project

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
• Create Micronaut 4 Maven project
• Scaffold Micronaut service with Java 25

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.
