It produces the executable `english-1.0.0-runner.jar` file in `/target` directory.

The application is now runnable using `java -jar target/english-1.0.0-runner.jar`.

## Creating a native executable

You can create a native executable using: `./mvnw package -Pnative`.

Or you can use Docker to build the native executable using: `./mvnw package -Pnative -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true`.

You can then execute your binary: `./target/english-1.0.0-runner`
