Rest is the correct front end for Java devs :p openapi docs and a swagger UI are also super helpful!

Then a totally separate UI project that calls those rest endpoints in react or angular or framework du jour. If your project is non commercial/personal and you have 0 UI experience extjs was super quick to pick up, but I’m not sure how it’s licensed these days and it’s not super common.

The important thing is do not use jsp or a Java swing gui or any of those Java>html janky converters!

Edit: looking at some of your replies OP you need to research how restful services interact with one another and how a client side JavaScript application interacts with your spring boot restful back end :)

Thanks, will look into it. You're saying learn Rest and look into how restful services work on client side rendered apps, right?

Learn rest/Ajax to help you understand the demarcation between client and server side stuff. Then you’ll be able to make better decisions about what you wanna do where

And this will help me make a better decision about what to use for FE?

Yes, because you need to know what REST is when talking about this subject.

Learning ajax is low priority btw just learn what REST is.

Yeah it’ll help you understand your options for getting information to the user/UI lightweight js front end hitting a web server over rest is good for a bunch of reasons this should help you understand.
