Project Builder

Project Builder & Scaffolding

Section titled “Project Builder & Scaffolding”

Quarkus Studio includes an intelligent scaffolding engine designed for both single-module microservices and complex enterprise multi-module architectures.

🏗️ Multi-Module Enterprise Scaffolding

Section titled “🏗️ Multi-Module Enterprise Scaffolding”

Enterprise Quarkus architectures often require clean separation between shared domain models, deployment configurations, and microservices. Quarkus Studio automates this boilerplate setup in seconds.

Supported Build Tools

Section titled “Supported Build Tools”
  • Maven: Generates a root parent pom.xml, dependency management block, plugin configuration, and submodules.
  • Gradle: Generates root settings.gradle / settings.gradle.kts and root build.gradle with subproject management.

Generated Project Structure

⚡ Scaffolding Commands

Section titled “⚡ Scaffolding Commands”

You can run any of the following commands from the VS Code Command Palette (F1 or Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + P):

Command Action
Quarkus Studio: Create Single Module Project with Maven Creates a standard single-module Quarkus Maven project with interactive extension selection.
Quarkus Studio: Create Single Module Project with Gradle Creates a standard single-module Quarkus Gradle project.
Quarkus Studio: Create Multi Module Project with Maven Scaffolds parent POM, common module, runnable microservices, and Docker Compose stack.
Quarkus Studio: Create Multi Module Project with Gradle Scaffolds Gradle root settings, shared library, and subprojects.
Quarkus Studio: Add New Module Adds a new microservice under the project root, automatically assigns an unused dev port, and registers it in the parent build file.
Quarkus Studio: Add Starters Injects curated starter technology bundles into your active project.
Quarkus Studio: Add Quarkus Extension Interactively searches the live code.quarkus.io catalog and adds dependencies to pom.xml or build.gradle.

📦 Curated Starter Packs

Section titled “📦 Curated Starter Packs”

Instead of searching for individual libraries, use Add Starters to inject pre-configured technology stacks:

Web API Starter

Includes RESTEasy Reactive (Jackson), OpenAPI / Swagger UI, Bean Validation, and SmallRye Health.

PostgreSQL Panache Starter

Configures Quarkus Hibernate ORM with Panache, JDBC Driver for PostgreSQL, Agroal pool, and Flyway database migrations.

Event-Driven Kafka Starter

Adds SmallRye Reactive Messaging for Apache Kafka with schema registry and serialization helpers.

Security & OIDC Starter

Configures OpenID Connect (OIDC) client and resource server with Keycloak Dev Services integration.

➕ Adding Quarkus Extensions

Section titled “➕ Adding Quarkus Extensions”
  1. Open your project in VS Code.
  2. In the Apps View sidebar header, click the Add Extension icon (or use the Command Palette).
  3. Type keywords (e.g. redis, grpc, scheduler, amazon-s3).
  4. Select the desired extensions; Quarkus Studio updates your pom.xml or build.gradle immediately without corrupting formatting.
