Spring MVC Angular JS Seed Project

This is a one handy seed project includes Spring Framework, Spring MVC, Maven, Angular JS with both Java and Javascript tests.

##Install Project has various dependencies managed through Maven, NPM and Bower. Luckily they have all connected in Maven with frontend-maven-plugin.

To install all dependencies and run tests run:

$ mvn install

This command builds the application with default dev profile. There are two profiles that build cycles include: dev (development) and prod (production). Each profile has its own build scenarios.

To install with explicit profile run mvn install -P dev|prod.

####Build cycle for dev profile

• Install Node and npm locally (If not installed).
• Install Node dependencies.
  • npm runs bower install after dependency installation. See package.json.
• Install Bower dependencies.
• Run Javascript tests and code coverage tool.
• Run Java tests with surefire.
• Compile and build WAR file.

####Build cycle for prod profile

Difference between dev and prod profiles is, Javascript files are built in prod profile unlike dev. After running Javascript tests all javascript files are minified, concatenated, revved and prepared to the production, thanks to the various Grunt plugins. Please see the build task in Gruntfile.js.
All the other steps are applied here too.
