Running Java application doing nothing

Question

I am new to Java

and I have done every possible scenario I could find or think of

This is an open source code that I got for the ineternet for my study

https://github.com/healthnlp/examples/tree/gh-pages

I tried to run the code through maven install / test

from the Run menu and nothing happens

I tried to google and search SOF for solutions but found nothing that can help me

I read about IntelliJ and Java but was way to advanced for me and I am running out of time for my study project.

So I hope I can find the answer here.

this is the IDE I use

and pom code

I just want to run the demo

Answer 1

The project you are looking at is a Servlet¹ designed to run in a web container. So, naturally, when you try to run it in your IDE as if it was a regular Java application, there is nothing to run.

To run the project, follow the instructions in the index.md file.

Alternatively, install Jetty locally and manually deploy the WAR file generated by the Maven build to it.

^{1 - I was originally confused by the fact that you didn't link to the "top" of the project.}

Answer 2

I see there is a Jetty plugin in the project. In that case, all you have to do is use it to start the project:

mvn jetty:run

Take a look at the documentation Jetty docs
