Tutorial needs instructions for launching from command line

[JetForMe]

I don't actually know how to build or execute this application (using maven from the command line). In my derived example I'm using gradle bootRun, but the mvn spring-boot:run fails:

$ mvn spring-boot:run

I'm facing the same problem. Meanwhile I'm running the project through STS (Run As -> Spring Boot App).

While I can't figure out how to run it directly from the command line, I'm considering changing the project so that it generates a war file.

There must be an easy way run this sample project outside STS...

This tutorial actually has multiple stages, meaning there isn't just one thing to build and run. The tutorial could definitely use some love to clean it up and make these points much clearer (sorry!)

Also, it might have suffered Upgrade Dilemna. It was written against Spring Boot 1.2, and clearly some of the changes in the Spring Boot Maven Plugin have made it unrunnable. I'll try to find some time and clean it up.

Wow! Thanks a lot, Greg! I'll give it a go right now!

I'm still making more edits so you want to wait for the dust to settle.

Tks for the heads up greg!
