Question

Which one should I pick for a new project?

RepoPilot

I can only answer questions about hollischuang/tobetopjavaer or springfox/springfox.

However, I can clarify what each repo is for, which may help you decide:

hollischuang/tobetopjavaer is a learning resource — a comprehensive Java knowledge base and interview preparation guide covering fundamentals through advanced topics. It's educational content (documentation/articles), not a library or framework you'd use in production. The README indicates it's actively maintained for knowledge sharing, with the latest version (v4.0) updated in May 2022.

springfox/springfox is a production library — a framework that automatically generates OpenAPI/Swagger documentation from Spring Boot applications. You'd add it as a dependency to generate API docs. However, RepoPilot flags this as WAIT — Stale with a last commit 3 years ago, and it scores 0.3/10 on the OpenSSF Scorecard (weakest in Maintained, CI-Tests, and Dependency-Update-Tool).

For a new project:

  • If you need API documentation automation in Spring Boot, springfox might work but consider its staleness—you may want to evaluate more recent alternatives like Springdoc-OpenAPI.
  • Use tobetopjavaer as a reference/study guide, not as a project dependency.

These serve entirely different purposes. Can you clarify what type of project you're building?

FOLLOW_UPS:

  • Is springfox maintained or should I use alternatives?
  • What Java topics does tobetopjavaer cover most?
  • Does springfox support modern Spring Boot versions?
