This project auto generates a Java file as given below inside the src/main/java.

package com.javtpoint;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBootExample2Application {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		SpringApplication.run(SpringBootExample2Application.class, args);
	}
}

Now we can run this as a Java Application and it will produce the following output.

Observe the line Started SpringBootExample2Application in 23.788 seconds (JVM running for 30.19) in the output section. It shows that our application is started.
