RAP on the Quick: The pure Maven Way
Lately I was talking with a colleague if it is possible to kickstart a RAP standalone “Hello World” example in less than a coffee break(*).
Well it depends…
on the content of your local Maven directory and/or your internet connection. ;-)
To make this happen you should postpone getting your coffee for now. Just go to a local temporary folder and grab the sample project from GitHub[1]
cd /tmp
git clone git://github.com/eclipsesource/rap-maven-examples.git
Change into the directory of the example and start the RAP example with the Maven-Jetty-Plugin:
cd rap-maven-examples/com.eclipsesource.rap.examples.maven
mvn jetty:run
Now it’s a perfect time to go and get some tea or coffee…

Point your browser to https://localhost:8080/maven_example and see the RAP example in action.
If you have a fast internet connection I’m pretty positive that your coffee is still hot. So maybe there is even some time of the coffee break left to have a look at the example code…or to leave a comment.
