{title:'Building and Running from Command-Line', created:'8.0.0'}

The pom.xml file is a basic Maven build script for creating your microservice as an executable uber-jar.

The easiest way to build your microservice is to run the following from the project root.

| mvn clean install

Your target directory should now contain the following files:

To start from a command line, run the following command from inside your target directory:

| java -jar my-jetty-microservice-1.0.jar

You should see the following console output:

| Running class 'JettyMicroservice' using config file 'mjm.cfg'. | Server started on port 10000 | | List of available commands: | exit -- Shut down service | restart -- Restarts service | help -- Commands help | | >

If you get this error message: java.net.BindException: Address already in use, then this microservice is already running elsewhere and so it cannot bind to port 10000.
