{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:

- my-springboot-microservice-1.0.jar

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

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

You should see the following console output:
