- *Automatic Installation*: Offers to install missing dependencies on supported platforms.

- *Project Selection*: Provides a list of starter projects for JakartaEE and Spring Boot.

- *Project Deployment*: Allows users to deploy selected projects and open them in Visual Studio Code with dev containers.
