qu# pst-gui Project

This project uses Quarkus - If you want to learn more about Quarkus, please visit its website: https://quarkus.io/ .

Note that there is a separate README for the client side browser application that makes up the majority of this component.

Optional third party software

You will need to install latexmk on your local environment should you wish to test the Justifications LaTeX functionality when developing i.e., producing a PDF output of the Justifications. latexmk will be installed on the server for production.

Running the application in dev mode

You can run your application in dev mode that enables live coding using:

./gradlew quarkusDev

NOTE: Quarkus now ships with a Dev UI, which is available in dev mode only at http://localhost:8080/q/dev/.

Packaging and running the application

The application can be packaged using:

./gradlew build

It produces the quarkus-run.jar file in the build/quarkus-app/ directory. Be aware that it’s not an über-jar as the dependencies are copied into the build/quarkus-app/lib/ directory.

The application is now runnable using java -jar build/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar.

If you want to build an über-jar, execute the following command:

./gradlew build -Dquarkus.package.type=uber-jar

The application, packaged as an über-jar, is now runnable using java -jar build/*-runner.jar.

Creating a native executable

You can create a native executable using:

./gradlew build -Dquarkus.package.type=native

Or, if you don't have GraalVM installed, you can run the native executable build in a container using:

./gradlew build -Dquarkus.package.type=native -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true

You can then execute your native executable with: ./build/pst-gui-0.1-runner

If you want to learn more about building native executables, please consult https://quarkus.io/guides/gradle-tooling.
