Github Actions is a CI/CD service provided by Github and it is free for public repositories. For private repositories, each GitHub account receives a certain amount of free minutes and storage, depending on the product used with the account. In this blog post, you will learn how to create a simple workflow for running JUnit 5 tests in a Maven based Java project and how to add a build status badge to a README.md file.

For all those developers interested in bootstrapping Spring 4 application quickly without Spring Boot, please check my Spring MVC 4 Quickstart Maven Archetype that just got updated. Archetype uses Java 8 as target platform for some time already but no specific Java 8 features were supported. Recent changes bring (apart from some bug fixing) support for Java 8 Data & Time API in Thymeleaf, Jackson and JPA.

Spring 3.1 brings many enhancements to its MVC framework. Many times I need to start some basic project to consult new things on the project for the presentation, blog post or just for myself. In order to make the creation of each project repeatable and easy process I decided to create Maven archetype for that puropose. Currently it is a snapshot version that support basic Spring MVC 3.1 project with JPA2.0 and Apache Tiles. See more details on the spring-mvc-quickstart-archetype project page how to get started with it . If you have any suggestions or you would like to join this project, please let me know.
