Question

Which one should I pick for a new project?

RepoPilot

Based on the RepoPilot analysis, neither repository is recommended for a new project.

forezp/springcloudlearning carries a AVOID verdict — it is:

  • Stale: Last commit was 5 years ago
  • Unlicensed: No license information provided

This is a learning/tutorial repository, not a production library. It's designed to teach Spring Cloud concepts through examples, not to be a dependency in your project.

jakewharton/viewpagerindicator is a UI library for Android ViewPager indicators, but:

  • The repository data shows it's quite mature (copyright 2011–2012) and likely not actively maintained
  • It depends on Android Support Library, which has been superseded by AndroidX
  • It's specific to Android development only

Recommendations:

  • If you need Spring Cloud learning materials: Use forezp/springcloudlearning as a reference only, but check official Spring Cloud documentation and recent tutorials for current best practices (5 years is a long time in that ecosystem).

  • If you need Android ViewPager indicators: Look for modern AndroidX-compatible alternatives rather than this 2011–2012-era library.

  • For production projects: Depend on actively maintained, licensed libraries with recent commits.

FOLLOW_UPS:

  • What technology stack are you building with?
  • Are you looking for a learning resource or production dependency?
  • What specific Spring Cloud features do you need?
