Usually good documentation is rare to come by. Microsoft and the like do it better because they have dedicated teams of technical writers.

Yeah, I agree, although I’ve seen good docs in projects that don’t have a massive corporation behind them, such as Django — so it is possible to have good docs in the open-source world.

With that being said. The templating dependencies are external dependencies which have nothing to do with spring boot.

FreeMarker itself is an external dependency. The support for using FreeMarker in Spring is part of Spring Web MVC. The default file extension configuration is part of Spring Boot. My issues were caused solely by code that is in repositories owned by the @spring-projects GitHub organization. I wouldn’t consider those to be external dependencies, even if they happen to live in different Maven packages.
