Running the Spring Boot Project in Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite (STS)

To run the Spring Boot backend of this project in Eclipse or STS, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite (STS) installed.
• JDK (Java Development Kit) installed.

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your/repository.git

2. Open Eclipse or STS.

3. Import the backend project:

   • Click on File -> Import.
   • Choose Existing Maven Projects.
   • Navigate to the backend directory and select the pom.xml file.
   • Click Finish to import the project.

4. Build the project:

   • Select Run As -> Java Application.

6. The backend server should now be running locally in Eclipse or STS on http://localhost:8080.

Now, the frontend, backend, and database are set up locally. You can access the application by visiting http://localhost:3000 for the React frontend and making requests to the backend running at http://localhost:8080.

Additional Notes

• Adjust any necessary configurations within the project, such as database settings or application properties.
• Ensure that port 8080 is not in use by other services to avoid conflicts.

Now, the backend server is running within Eclipse or STS, allowing you to interact with the APIs or connect it to the frontend of your project.
