How to build and run the application

You can build and run the application in different ways (depending on your environment and/or IDE).

1) Using Maven to build a “fat” JAR that is easy to run

From command line (in project's main directory):

• run mvn package
• go into the target/ directory
• run java -jar spring-boot2-thymeleaf-basic-demo.jar

2) Using Maven to directly build&run the application

From command line (in project's main directory):

• run mvn spring-boot:run

3) Using the Eclipse IDE

• import the project (“File” -> “Import...” then “Existing Maven Projects” etc...)
• build the project (if “Build Automatically” is not active)
• locate the SpringBoot2ThymeleafBasicDemoApp class and then “Run As” -> “Java Application”

Note: other IDEs (e.g. NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA) can also be used, the import procedure may be very similar.

How to use the application
