[Java] Xchange me, sir - Sample REST project to get xrates to EUR

Project description Xchange me, sir:

Implement a simple foreign exchange rate service that uses data provided by the European Central Bank. Provide a REST API to retrieve the exchange rate to EUR from any other currency provided by the ECB and allow querying current (https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml) and past (https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-hist-90d.xml) data. Use an asynchronous job to retrieve and update the xrates storing them locally in memory and have the REST API use the data in memory to return this information.
