Lazybones

Lazybones is a project creation tool and template manager for Groovy and JVM-based applications. It allows developers to generate new projects from templates with a simple command, filling in details such as project structure, configuration files, and boilerplate code. Templates can be customized or created from scratch, making it easy to enforce consistent setups across teams or organizations. Lazybones supports updating existing projects from newer versions of templates, easing long-term maintenance. It is commonly used to bootstrap Grails, Ratpack, or Gradle-based projects, but it can handle any JVM project layout. By automating the scaffolding process, Lazybones reduces setup time and encourages best practices by distributing pre-approved templates.
