Description

Currently spring generator handle

  • springboot version 2.X
  • springboot version 3.X
  • springboot version 4.X

The springboot 3 has been released more than 3 years ago and spring boot 2 is no longer supported for OSS.
For springboot 3, the oss support ends in three months.

Is the support of old version needed? I would naively say that for those that need an old springboot version generation, they would just need to take an old generator version . That would allow to clean the code base from old version test, variables and so on...

@wing328 any idea about it?

Research direction

Start by locating the Spring generator's handling of Spring Boot 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x, including its version-related tests, variables, and generated output. Clarify which versions should remain supported before removing old-version code and tests; done means the supported-version policy is agreed and the generator and its tests consistently enforce it.
