I haven't tried it myself but PhantomJs would likely be the best option to be able to do this.

You'll need a dictionary of the endpoints your want to render and their corresponding static filepath names. You'd then iterate over each endpoint, rendering the given path with PhantomJS and then saving the output into the static file.

From what I gather from your question, you haven't actually used these paths on the front-end in your angular app as yet? If this is the case then I'd say that the other option is to actually render them server side via just Spring.

The issue here is that angular is not made with isomorphism (client and server side rendering) in mind. Any proper rendering you want done on the server side that hasn't been built yet, the best option is to use Spring to render it.

Another option is updating to Angular2 which is isomorphic with the help of angular universal. If Spring is not used for rendering and only serves as an API for your app this option will work well.
