Does spring retry dependency covered under spring batch in spring initializr?

Question

Trying to add Retry dependency in spring initializr, but only batch is showed? Does it mean need to add spring-batch and use retry?

Answer 1

No. Not every possible modules that the Spring ecosystem has is on start.spring.io. We try to reduce things to what's relevant for a getting started experience.

With a project generated on start.spring.io, you already get dependency management for Spring Retry so, if you prefer to use it directly without Spring Batch or another module that uses it, you can add the jar directly. You don't need to specify a version as this is taken care for you.
