Micronaut Banner

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

$ ./gradlew run
 __  __ _                                  _

  Micronaut (2.3.1)

If you want to customize the banner with your own Ascii Art (just plain ascii at this moment) just create the file src/main/resources/micronaut-banner.txt and it will be used instead.

In case you want to disable it modify your Application class:

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