# Java Spring Boot + ButterCMS Starter Project
This Java + Spring Boot starter project fully integrates with dynamic sample
content from your ButterCMS account, including main menu, pages, blog posts,
categories, and tags, all with a beautiful, custom theme with already-implemented
search functionality. All of the included sample content is automatically created
in your account dashboard when you sign up for a free trial of ButterCMS.
[View our live demo hosted at Heroku](https://java-starter-buttercms.herokuapp.com/), or you can click a button below
to deploy your own copy of our starter project to the provider of your choice.
