java – How to set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS in spring boot app

I was able to configure this property using Spring Cloud GCP spring-cloud-gcp-starter-data-datastore, creating a service account project owner, copy the JSON private key to the main resources directory, and setting the following properties in the application.properties

spring.cloud.gcp.project-id=<project-id>
spring.cloud.gcp.credentials.location=classpath:<credentials-private-key>.json

from the documentation

You can find the project id by visiting this page https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/7014113?hl=en
Go to the API Console.

From the projects list, select Manage all projects. The names and IDs for all the projects youre a member of are displayed.
You can also select the project go the settings and see the project ID

You need to set the shell variable. Run this command before mvn run.

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/Users/ronnyshibley/Dev/eddress-service-key.json

You can use application properties, but you need to use a different StorageOptions builder.

You are probably using

private static Storage storage = StorageOptions.getDefaultInstance().getService();

But if you want to skip the environment variable you need to use:

Credentials credentials = GoogleCredentials
  .fromStream(new FileInputStream(path/to/file));
Storage storage = StorageOptions.newBuilder().setCredentials(credentials)
  .setProjectId(my-project-id).build().getService();

Note that the default builder (using environment variables) is better if you are going to deploy your applications to cloud, because then this is automatically filled for you.
