Update getting started with start.spring.io instructions

[philwebb]

Our getting started documentation has a lot of details about installing Gradle and Maven. It would be nice if we also pointed to start.spring.io and showed that the generated project has the wrapper.

Hi phil,
I would like to work on this, if it is still open?

@rajputvishwas thanks for the offer. Yes the issue is still open.

Hi! @wilkinsona ,

I'd like to know if this issue is still open and unassigned. I'd like to work on it.

My approach for this was to:

Include a TIP Section just after Installation Instructions for the Java Developer which will inform readers that the next two sections talks about Maven and Gradle installation but they do not necessarily need to install them to work with SpringBoot as they could easily Generate a SpringBoot Project and the generated project will include Maven and Gradle wrappers as the case maybe which they can then use to build the project as required.

Is this what is needed?

Thanks for the offer. We're not quite sure yet what is needed, hence the pending-design-work label. In addition to the section that you've linked to above, there's also this section in the Gradle plugin's documentation to consider. We need to spend some time figuring out exactly what we want to say and where. Unfortunately we have other, higher priority issues that we need to focus on at the moment so it may take some time before we're can give this issue the attention that it needs before some progress can be made.
