Streamlining Tasks in Java and Spring Boot with Compound Commands

In Java and Spring Boot, there’s no need to craft shell commands for some tasks. This capability proves incredibly handy. For instance, within your `build.gradle` file, you can define compound tasks. Here’s how you can set it up:

groovy
task buildAndRun {
dependsOn ‘clean’, ‘build’, ‘bootRun’
}

Then, to execute the task, simply run:

zsh
./gradlew buildAndRun

This approach streamlines your workflow, making development in Java and Spring Boot even more efficient.
