MicroProfile Starter has generated this MicroProfile application for you.
The generation of the executable jar file can be performed by issuing the following command
mvn clean package
This will create an executable jar file demo.jar within the target maven folder. This can be started by executing the following command
java -jar target/demo.jar
During development, you can use Liberty's development mode (dev mode) to code while observing and testing your changes on the fly. With the dev mode, you can code along and watch the change reflected in the running server right away; unit and integration tests are run on pressing Enter in the command terminal; you can attach a debugger to the running server at any time to step through your code.
mvn liberty:dev
To launch the test page, open your browser at the following URL
