Maven build from the Command Prompt

Please make sure that Java and JAVA_HOME is set to Java 11 before executing the following commands.

Observe the following steps:

1. To build the JAR file, perform the mvn clean package command from the Command Prompt from the parent project root directory (Chapter2). Here, clean and package are Maven goals:

mvn clean package

1. This creates the JAR files in a respective target directory. We will now execute the JAR files generated in the Chapter2\rest\target directory. A JAR file can be executed using the following command:

java -jar rest\target\rest-1.0-SNAPSHOT-exec.jar
