We can use IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition for working with Spring Boot applications, as we don’t need support for configuring servers like Tomcat, Wildfly, etc., and can simply run the applications by running the main() method.
However, there is no provision in IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition to create a Spring Boot application directly, the way it is supported in the Ultimate Edition.

Test

IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition lacks built-in Spring Boot project creation (unlike Ultimate Edition), but you can work around this by generating a project from start.spring.io, importing it, then saving it as a project template via Tools > Save Project as Template. Future projects can then be created from this template under File > New > Project > User-defined, avoiding manual Maven/Gradle setup.
