Spring Boot provides the possibilty to create starters: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#using.build-systems.starters

The full name would be "OpenTelemetry Spring Boot starter". "OpenTelemetry starter" is shorter and could be understood as a "Spring Boot starter" in the context of Spring Boot applications.

A proposition

  1. Leave "Spring Boot starter" in the menu and the index page. We have "Agent" for the OpenTelemetry Java agent. This gives the technology used.
  2. Leave "OpenTelemetry Spring Boot starter" in the index page which makes things very clear.
  3. Use "OpenTelemetry starter" in the pages outside the index.
