Building

The starter script runs a few ./gradlew tasks as the last step in the setup. Additional builds, testing, and bundling can be had by running the following ./gradlew tasks:

# Run tests
./gradlew clean test

# Bundle the project
./gradlew clean shadowjar

# Run the project
./gradlew clean run

IDE Tips

If using IntelliJ IDEA:

• close any existing projects to arrive at the "Welcome" menu
• select "Import Project"
• select your local project directory
• choose "Import project from external model", with Gradle as the model option
• choose "Use default gradle wrapper" and press "Finish"

Build Docker Image

# Build the bundled jar
./gradlew clean shadowJar

# Build the docker image and tag it with your project name (e.g. myproject)
docker build -t myproject .

# Run the docker image
docker run myproject:latest
