Here are the release notes for Spring Boot 2.3.1
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/releases/tag/v2.3.1.RELEASE
I've searched everywhere in the Wiki, in Issues and in the code, but I can't find where these are being created.
Is this a manual process or automated in some way?
I'd love to take a similar approach in my projects but prefer not to do it manually if possible.
Does anyone know of any resources that describe how to generate release notes in this format with some level of automation?
hello if you look carefully in spring boot github repo, you will have this
spring-boot/ci/pipeline.yml
this is where they have their build/release workflow
and the file below is the script use to generate the github release note
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/main/ci/scripts/generate-changelog.sh

Are there any real world Spring Batch OpenSource projects? I have searched a few but they are just basic examples. I tried following the projects mentioned in the question here but they do not seem to have Spring Batch included.Please suggest the SpringBatch projects you know. I need to know how they have organized their code. This will help me as a reference.
Not to my knowledge. But since you are looking for how to organize the code, you can check the getting started guide or the samples. They both provide a typical structure of a Spring Batch based project.
I just started reading the Jorge Acetozi book "Continuous Delivery for Java Apps: Kubernetes and Jenkins in Practice".
For the code examples I use the source code in his github repository:
https://github.com/jorgeacetozi
Unfortunately this code doesn't work for Java 11 and uses old Spring Boot 1.5 version
Also Jenkins, Selenium, Kubernetes and Vagrant tools, described in the book, use very old versions.
Has anyone finished this book lately, could you please, provide the updated source code for this book?
Unfortunately, the old source code, prevents me from learning further.
I have managed to finish this book, but did a lot of changes to the source code:
https://github.com/skyglass/notepad - updated source code for Notepad Spring Boot application.
Spring Boot has been updated to version 2.4.2.
I had to make lots of changes to the front-end code, to make styles displayed correctly with the latest version of Thymeleaf library.
Also did some other changes, related to update from Java8 to Java11.
All maven dependencies have been updated to the latest versions
https://github.com/skyglass/jenkins-kubernetes-cd - This repository corresponds to Jorge Acetozi's "ebook-continuous-delivery-with-kubernetes-and-jenkins" repository.
"docker-images" folder contain "jenkins", "kubectl" and "maven-jdk11-git" docker image files, which are used by Jenkins pipelines
Kubernetes yaml files have been updated to the latest version of Kubernetes
Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to make acceptance tests working for "Firefox" browser, with the latest "Selenium Grid" docker images. Therefore, acceptance-tests pipeline code only contains tests with "Chrome" browser
All Jenkins files have been updated to use the latest docker images, or custom docker images, published by me in Skyglass Docker Hub. Feel free to publish them in your own docker hub, using docker files from "docker-images" folder.
"docker-images" folder contains custom docker image to run Jenkins. I recommend using this image to run Jenkins on your computer. It uses the latest version of jenkins for jdk11 and all needed plugins with the latest versions
https://github.com/skyglass/notepad-performance-tests - the performance tests have been updated for the latest versions of Scala, SBT and Gatling.

https://www.exxactcorp.com/blog/HPC/building-a-kubernetes-cluster-using-vagrant
These articles will help you to install Kubernetes Cluster locally, with Vagrant and VirtualBox.
Of course, I also used lot of other online resources. StackOverflow helped me a lot. :)
Have fun reading this book, hope these examples help you get the best learning experience.
Thank you, Jorge Acetozi, for this wonderful book!
I'm in need of code that only exists in the master at the moment, and the docs specifically mention a version called 2.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT, but I'll be damned if I can figure out which repository is hosting such a build. Anyone have any clues?
Also, is there any information published about release schedules? I'm loath to develop against the 1.x API because I want the retry and recovery functionality (which doesn't work in either of the 2.0.0 milestone builds, hence my need for a snapshot), but I don't want to commit to an unreleased library without some sense of when a release might happen.
The BUILD-SNAPSHOT you can find in the https://repo.spring.io/snapshot. So, you should configure that for your project.
The next Spring Kafka 2.0.0.RC1 is scheduled for this June 28.
You can find that info on the project page as well: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-kafka/milestone/20
We are looking at cucumber for our automation test framework because everyone including business people can understand it.
We use Angualr JS frontend and Java REST backend. Our team that is going to write the step definitions likes Ruby so we want to stick with Ruby for that.
Also we would like to use Maven to tie this process into our build process.
Will cucumber be a good fit given that story above ?
Hui Peztherez, from my prospective cucumber is a great choice, using it with the same architecture expect for Angular.
We are using Maven too, and it's so useful to orchestrate them with Jenkins, using maven to run the tags..
mvn test -Dcucumber.options="--tags #smoke"
ref: https://cucumber.io/docs/reference/jvm
Also Jenkins have several plugin to report the Cucumber Analysis, so useful for testers, and in the end, we are now working about the HPQ server integration with a plugin called Bumblebee (this part is still under development for both sides, our and bumblebee)
Another good choice is Ruby, you can take the step definition so easily defined with Ruby...
We also have a integration with Selenium for the front end side, and it works as well...
So go further!
We are using Cucumber in Java with gradle in past, It was in Maven and It works fine. We have framework for UI and API, In UI we used WebDriver to write step definition and In API, We used RestAssured to write step definition. You can do same thing in Java what you can do in Ruby.
Maven for Java Cucumber :
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/info.cukes/cucumber-java/1.2.4 - Please add other dependency as per requirement.
Jenkin Plugin : https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Cucumber+Reports+Plugin
Will cucumber be a good fit given that story above ?
- Yes It is good fit. I will request you to show POC(Proof of concept) to management. I had experience in past that management have no clue about BDD and they have very hard to time to understand coverage. We did very deep dive to provide all information to them. It is very important to answer following question to management
BDD report is providing accurate test converage idea to management ?
Everyone in team is able to write feature file and able to provide same quality of feature file
Feature file and BDD report will be starting tool for check test converage
Thank you.
Please be aware that Cucumber is a BDD framework that can be used on top of a browser automation framework like Selenium WebDriver/Watir/Protractor they are two distinct things. Most of them implements Selenium WebDriver's protocol.
My only concern is for you using Maven in that project setup, I know that you can run ruby code in a JVM by using JRuby. But I'm not sure which plugin you'd use to trigger that from Maven.
I've inherited an existing Grails Maven app and have been tasked with looking into automating the build and deployment of it.
It currently uses grails 1.3.7 but will be upgraded to 2.1 soon.
So
1: Is there a way to allow someone log into jenkins and click a button that will automatically create a build?
2: Is there then a follow up task I could use to allow the user deploy the build to a server I have specified beforehand?
Any links to usefull/relevant articles would be great.....I'm fairly new to both grails and jenkins.
1 + 2) Yes. This is pretty much exactly what a Jenkins job does.
Take a look at Continuous Integration with Grails for a quick start, or the Jenkins Wiki for a slightly less quick start.
