(The parameter PORT_NUMBER is optional, default port is 8080) COMPILING ========= Step 1 - Install Requirements ----------------------------- To download and compile the source code you need to install: - Java SDK v1.6+ - Maven v2.0+ - Git v1.7+ Step 2 - Get the source code ---------------------------- Download the project source code from GitHub repository (https://github.com/dasanjos/java-WebServer) $ git clone git://github.com/dasanjos/java-WebServer This will create a folder "java-WebServer" containing the project source files. Step 3 - Compile it! -------------------- Go to the project root folder and run the following command: $ mvn clean package This will create a "target" folder containing the application jar file: java-WebServer-1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar
