I noticed that for my usual project with Web and JPA over hibernate some extra maven plugin were added by Initializr:

Answer 1

Do read https://docs.spring.io/spring-native/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#spring-aot carefully, it has exact steps for IDEA (and tips for Eclipse and VSCode)

In the Maven tool window, go to "Plugins" and map:

• Right click on spring-aot:generate then click on "After build".

• Add the JUnit configuration (or just try to run a firs time your tests) and then right click on `spring-aot:test-generate then click on "Execute Run/Debug …​" then select your JUnit test configurations.

Here is a snapshot to config it in my IDE.
