Micronaut Banner

Since Micronaut 2.3 a banner is shown when the application starts. It is enabled by default and it also shows the Micronaut version.

$ ./gradlew run

To customize the banner with your own ASCII Art (just plain ASCII at this moment), create the file src/main/resources/micronaut-banner.txt and it will be used instead.

To disable it, modify your Application class:

public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Micronaut.build(args)
                 .banner(false) (1)
                 .start();
    }
}
