Setting up for development

You need

• JDK 25+
• Maven 3.8.8+
• An IDE. Any Java IDE works: import the project as a Maven project.

Running

Run your Application class's main() from the IDE. The app runs on localhost:1200, in development mode.

Change the port with a program argument: -WOPort 1300.

Project layout

pom.xml
build.properties               principalClass=…
src/main/java/                 Application, components, …
src/main/resources/
	components/                templates
	webserver-resources/       CSS, JS, images, served at /nr/app/…
	app-resources/             files for your code, and Properties
	public/                    served at the site root

Faster turnaround

• Template and resource edits show on reload.
• Java edits need a restart, unless your IDE hot-swaps them. (TODO: setting up full hot swap.)

Eclipse

The Parslips plugin adds template editing and validation, and lets tools drive a running app. (TODO: installation.)
