This project is authored in Java.

Fork the Spring Boot Fundamentals repository on GitHub. Clone the project to your host machine.

The project requires the following dependencies be installed on the host machine:

• Java Development Kit 7 or later

and choose one of:

• Apache Maven 3 or later
• Gradle 2.12 or later

The project supports Maven and Gradle for build, package, and test workflow automation.

The following Maven goals are the most commonly used.

The spring-boot:run Maven goal performs the following workflow steps:

• compiles Java classes to the /target directory
• copies all resources to the /target directory
• starts an embedded Apache Tomcat server

To execute the spring-boot:run Maven goal, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.

mvn spring-boot:run

Type ctrl-C to halt the web server.

This goal is used for local machine development and functional testing. Use the package goal for server deployment.

The test Maven goal performs the following workflow steps:

• compiles Java classes to the /target directory
• copies all resources to the /target directory
• executes the unit test suites
• produces unit test reports

The test Maven goal is designed to allow engineers the means to run the unit test suites against the main source code. This goal may also be used on continuous integration servers such as Jenkins, etc.

To execute the test Maven goal, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.

mvn clean test

The package Maven goal performs the following workflow steps:

• compiles Java classes to the /target directory
• copies all resources to the /target directory
• executes the unit test suites
• produces unit test reports
• prepares an executable JAR file in the /target directory

The package Maven goal is designed to prepare the application for distribution to server environments. The application and all dependencies are packaged into a single, executable JAR file.

To execute the package goal, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.

mvn clean package

The application distribution artifact is placed in the /target directory and is named using the artifactId and version from the pom.xml file. To run the JAR file use the following command:

java -jar example-1.0.0.jar

By default, the batch and hsqldb profiles are active. To run the application with a specific set of active profiles, supply the --spring.profiles.active command line argument. For example, to start the project using MySQL instad of HSQLDB and enable the batch process:

java -jar example-1.0.0.jar --spring.profiles.active=mysql,batch

The following Gradle tasks are the most commonly used.

The bootRun Gradle task performs the following workflow steps:

• compiles Java classes to the /build directory
• copies all resources to the /build directory
• starts an embedded Apache Tomcat server

To execute the bootRun Gradle task, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.

gradle bootRun

Type ctrl-C to halt the web server.

This task is used for local machine development and functional testing. Use the assemble or build task for server deployment.

The assemble Gradle task performs the following workflow steps:

• compiles Java classes to the /build directory
• copies all resources to the /build directory
• prepares an executable JAR file in the /build/libs directory

The assemble Gradle task is designed to allow engineers the means to compile the project and produce an executable JAR file suitable for server environments without executing unit tests or producing other project reports.

To execute the assemble Gradle task, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.

gradle clean assemble

The build Gradle task performs the following workflow steps:

• compiles Java classes to the /build directory
• copies all resources to the /build directory
• executes the unit test suites
• produces unit test reports
• prepares an executable JAR file in the /build/libs directory

The build Gradle task is prepares the application for distribution to server environments. The application and all dependencies are packaged into a single, executable JAR file.

This task is ideal for use on continuous integration servers such as Jenkins, etc. because it produces unit test, code coverage, and static analysis reports.

To execute the build Gradle task, type the following command at a terminal prompt in the project base directory.

gradle clean build

The application distribution artifact is placed in the /build/libs directory and is named using the project name and version from the build.gradle file. To run the JAR file use the following command:

java -jar build/libs/example-1.0.0.jar

By default, the batch and hsqldb profiles are active. To run the application with a specific set of active profiles, supply the --spring.profiles.active command line argument. For example, to start the project using MySQL instad of HSQLDB and enable the batch process:

java -jar build/libs/example-1.0.0.jar --spring.profiles.active=mysql,batch
