Changing port number in Spring boot program. No application.properties

Question

I just imported a java project from spring.io https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/

I did it in my eclipse. I want to change the port number for the embedded tomcat to run but I can't see any application.properties (there is no src/main/resources) as it used to be when I would manually create a spring boot application through File->New->...

This is how the structure looks like

I checked out manifest.yml and even typed

server: port : 9090

but it says, unknown property 'server' for type 'Cloudfoundary Manifest'

add a application.properties file by yourself and then add server port you need — gladiator, Dec 05 '17 at 08:34

It works now! I had made the folder name as 'resource' changed it to 'resources' and it works! One last question. Where is the checking of this pattern is taking place? who is doing that? – Shad Dec 05 '17 at 10:14
