./mvnw clean package # this will build the projectFor the first time it will download and install Maven version configured in the project settings (v3.8.7)
Next time the cached version will be used without redownloading.
After the build is completed, the folder /target will be created with a compiled .jar ready to be launched.
Now you can launch the server at the default port 8080
(if the option --server.port={PORT} is not provided):

If you want to add new features to the application, you can do so by creating new controllers, services, and repositories. You can also add new dependencies to the pom.xml file.
