There apparently used to be a toggle switch on the Dashboard itself, but that's gone, and I can't find anything in the Preferences. I'm using version 2.5.2.
I know it's really not a big deal, but closing that window over and over is starting to make Jack a dull boy, if you catch my drift.
Starting small and incrementally, the Spring Boot Dashboard comes as an additional view in STS/Eclipse. You can open it by pressing the Spring Boot button in your main toolbar. It opens up a simple view that is in sync with your workspace projects, showing those projects of your workspace that are Spring Boot projects.
Spring Boot Dashboard is a lightweight extension in Visual Studio Code (VS Code). With an explorer in the side bar, you can view and manage all available Spring Boot projects in your workspace. It also supports the features to quickly start, stop or debug a Spring Boot project.
In order to run this app, you could select “Run As → Spring Boot App” or create your own launch configuration in the Eclipse IDE. A better and easier way to run your Spring app is the Spring Boot Dashboard. It is a separate view in your IDE that you can activate from the toolbar (look for the Spring Boot icon).
From the menu select Window / Preferences. Look under Spring / Dashboard. Uncheck 'Show Dashboard on Startup'
(On newer versions of the spring plugin, it is under SpringSource / Dashboard)
