  • local - For local development using H2 data source.
  • test - For running test cases.

How To...

Start Embedded Tomcat Server for Back-End Development

• Run mvn clean spring-boot:run -Drun.profiles=local.

  • By default, this will perform yarn build to bundle the front-end JS files first before starting the server.
  • If there are no changes on front-end, you can speed it up by running mvn clean spring-boot:run -Drun.profiles=local -Pskip-frontend-build

• Open https://localhost:8443 in browser.

Start Webpack Dev Server for Front-End Development

• Change directory to src/main/frontend dir.

• Run yarn start.

• Open https://localhost:8080 in browser.

Create WAR File

• Run mvn clean package.

Configure Jenkins Job

• Create a "Freestyle project" job.

• Under "Add build steps, select "Invoke top-level Maven targets".

  • Goals: -U clean test site
