Description

Environment
  • VS Code (latest)
  • Spring boot dashboard: V0.14.0
Situation
  • I have a multi folder workspace project.
  • Every folder contains a maven project. Some of the spring boot based microservices, others just modules
  • Some of these modules have an indirect dependency on Spring boot (e.g. spring-cloud-starter-openfeign)
Current behavior
  • that module appears in the SPRING:APPS panel in VS Code
Desired behavior:
  • that module is not recognized as runnable
    • Option 1: instead of checking the classpath for spring boot jar files (which is currently the way discovery is done, as far as I understood), search for the @SpringBootApplication annotation in the project.
    • Option 2: introduce a setting that allows hiding projects from the panel
  • having option 1 and 2, would even be better.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by tracing the dashboard's project-discovery logic and compare annotation-based discovery with a project-hiding setting; done means indirect-dependency modules are excluded while runnable Spring Boot applications remain visible.
