jHipster, generates full stack web application using Angular and Spring ! Look at the great questions it asks when creating jHipster application !
Imagine the comfort you get by having all these dependencies in your app right there when you start the development !
Hmm.. There are so many technologies embedded as a inherient part of jHipster.
HTML5BoilerPlate- So you dont have to worry adding things like Modernizer on your own. This boiler plate takes care of old browsers too, so many old-school browsers got taken care of.
Twitter Bootstrap: Need to talk anything about this most popular project on Github ?
Bower: Dependency management on client side ! Very popular now a days !
Karma, PhantomJS: When it is angular, no need to really mention this as it comes part of Angular. But just not to forget !
Following on server side !
Boot should be mentioned again and again because Boot was mentioned again and again in this year's SpringOne (which I did not attend btw :) , for architecture style of Micro-service. Spring guys have Boot everywhere now a days !
And when it is Spring world, I dont have to mention Spring Security, Spring MVC etc Right ?
I am also so much impressed with what jHipster has for production readiness ! Monitoring with Metrix (which I dont know !) , caching with something called HazerCast (sorry, Dont kno
