Running the Examples from the Command Line

After you have downloaded the Jersey samples, follow these steps to run the samples from the command line.

1. Download and install Maven 2.0.9 or higher from the Apache Maven Project web site at http://maven.apache.org/download.html. Make sure to follow the instructions in the Maven README.html file which include adding the maven/bin directory to your path statement.

2. In a terminal window or command prompt, change to the directory for the sample application you'd like to run. For example, to run the HelloWorld sample, change to jersey/samples/helloworld.

3. Read the README.html file for the sample, and follow the steps listed for running the sample. For example, to run the HelloWorld sample, run mvn compile exec:java, and follow the instructions on the screen and in the README.html file.
