Running on the Command Line
- For real apps, you often start them from the command line (or using other OS tools)
- You don't want your code to be dependent on the IDE
- A Java program should only need Java installed to run
- The command line can be more easily automated (and therefore be made more reliable)
- You can use the
mvn
command to build your app - And the
java
command to launch it
