This project is very similar to the maven-verticle-groovy project but it compiles the Goovy verticle.
The pom.xml compiles the groovy classes form src/main/groovy and package the verticle.
The pom.xml uses the Maven shade plugin to assemble the application and all it’s dependencies into a single "fat" jar.
To build a "fat jar"
mvn package
To run the fat jar:
java -jar target/maven-verticle-compiled-groovy-3.6.2-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).
Now point your browser at http://localhost:8080
You can also launch the application from Maven directly:
-
to run it using the classes form target/classes:
mvn compile exec:java@run -
to run the fat jar:
mvn package exec:exec@run-app
