This project uses Spring Boot to package the collector as an executable JAR with dependencies.

Building and Deploying

Execute the following command to package the collector into an executable JAR file. 

    mvn install

Copy this file to your server and launch it using:

  java -JAR sonar-collector.jar

You will need to provide an application.properties file that contains information about how to connect to the Dashboard MongoDB database instance, as well as properties the Hudson collector requires. See the Spring Boot [documentation](http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-application-property-files) for information about sourcing this properties file.
