= Vert.x Simplest Maven project
|
|
This project shows a very simple hello world Vert.x project using Maven, which has a simple HTTP server which
|
simply returns "Hello World!" to every request.
|
|
In this example Vert.x is used embedded. I.e. we use the Vert.x APIs directly in our own classes rather than deploying
|
the code in verticles.
|
|
You can run or debug the example in your IDE by just right clicking the main class and run as.. or debug as...
|
|
The pom.xml uses the Maven shade plugin to assemble the application and all it's dependencies into a single "fat" jar.
|
|
To run with maven
|
|
mvn compile exec:java
|
|
To build a "fat jar"
|
|
mvn package
|
|
To run the fat jar:
|
|
java -jar target/maven-simplest-3.9.0-fat.jar
|
|
(You can take that jar and run it anywhere there is a Java 8+ JDK. It contains all the dependencies it needs so you
|
don't need to install Vert.x on the target machine).
|
|
You can also run the fat jar with maven:
|
|
mvn package exec:exec@run-app
|
