| 4829e4 | 1 | = Vert.x Simplest Maven project |
| J | 2 | |
| 3 | This project shows a very simple hello world Vert.x project using Maven, which has a simple HTTP server which | |
| 4 | simply returns "Hello World!" to every request. | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | In this example Vert.x is used embedded. I.e. we use the Vert.x APIs directly in our own classes rather than deploying | |
| 7 | the code in verticles. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | You can run or debug the example in your IDE by just right clicking the main class and run as.. or debug as... | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | The pom.xml uses the Maven shade plugin to assemble the application and all it's dependencies into a single "fat" jar. | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | To run with maven | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | mvn compile exec:java | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | To build a "fat jar" | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | mvn package | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | To run the fat jar: | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | java -jar target/maven-simplest-3.9.0-fat.jar | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | (You can take that jar and run it anywhere there is a Java 8+ JDK. It contains all the dependencies it needs so you | |
| 26 | don't need to install Vert.x on the target machine). | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | You can also run the fat jar with maven: | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | mvn package exec:exec@run-app | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | Now point your browser at http://localhost:8080 | |
