Building and running the application

To build the application, run the Maven install phase from the active command-line session in the start directory:

mvn install

This command builds the application and creates a .war file in the target directory. It also configures and installs Open Liberty into the target/liberty/wlp directory.

Next, run the Maven liberty:start-server goal:

mvn liberty:start-server

This goal starts an Open Liberty server instance. Your Maven pom.xml is already configured to start the application in this server instance.
