SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many Java projects using Spring Boot retain outdated anti‑patterns, legacy imports, and insecure configurations that hinder maintainability, performance, and security across versions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Legacy Anti‑Pattern Detection: Scans codebases for field injection, deprecated security adapters, javax.* imports, and other version‑specific issues.
  • Version‑Specific Guidance: Provides pattern recommendations for Spring Boot 2.x, 3.0, 3.2+, and 4.0, including migration paths to newer APIs.
  • Technical Debt Scoring: Generates a weighted debt report covering injection, security, testing, and version compliance.
  • Migration Path Generation: Prioritizes high‑impact refactorings and offers step‑by‑step upgrade instructions.

Quick Start

Use the spring-boot-patterns skill to scan your codebase and receive a detailed anti‑pattern and migration report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect Spring Boot anti-patterns and legacy code issues in my Java project?▼

Detect Spring Boot anti-patterns by scanning your Java codebase for field injection, deprecated security adapters, and javax.* imports. The skill analyzes Spring Boot versions 2 through 4 to assess code quality, security, and performance, generating a weighted technical debt score.

What Spring Boot migration paths are recommended for upgrading from version 2.x to 3.0 or 4.0?▼

Spring Boot migration paths prioritize high-impact refactorings and offer step-by-step upgrade instructions. The skill provides version-specific pattern recommendations for Spring Boot 2.x, 3.0, 3.2+, and 4.0, including guidance on transitioning to newer APIs.

Can I assess technical debt and version compliance for Spring Boot projects using this code analysis tool?▼

Assess technical debt and version compliance by generating a weighted report covering injection, security, testing, and version compliance. The tool scans Java projects using Spring Boot versions 2 through 4 to evaluate code quality and security configurations.

What are common Spring Boot anti-patterns that hinder maintainability and performance across versions?▼

Common Spring Boot anti-patterns include field injection, deprecated security adapters, and legacy javax.* imports. These outdated configurations hinder maintainability, performance, and security across Spring Boot versions 2 through 4.

Does the Spring Boot code analysis support older Java projects using version 2.x?▼

Yes, the code analysis supports Java projects using Spring Boot versions 2.x, 3.0, 3.2+, and 4.0. It assesses code quality, security, and performance while providing version-specific recommendations and migration paths to newer APIs.
