How to access a value defined in the application.properties file in Spring Boot

How can I access values provided in application.properties, like

logging.level.org.springframework.web: DEBUG
logging.level.org.hibernate: ERROR
logging.file=${HOME}/application.log

userBucket.path=${HOME}/bucket

For instance, I want to access userBucket.path in my main program in a Spring Boot application.

You can use the @Value annotation and access the property in whichever Spring bean you're using

@Value("${userBucket.path}")
private String userBucketPath;

The Externalized Configuration section of the Spring Boot docs, explains all the details that you might need.
