Project Job Scheduling (Java, Quarkus, Maven)

Assign jobs for execution to produce a better schedule for project job allocations.

• Run the application

• Run the application with Timefold Solver Enterprise Edition

• Run the packaged application

• Run the application in a container

• Run it native

Prerequisites

1. Install Java and Maven, for example with Sdkman:

   $ sdk install java
   $ sdk install maven

Run the application

1. Git clone the timefold-quickstarts repo and navigate to this directory:

   $ git clone https://github.com/TimefoldAI/timefold-quickstarts.git
   ...
   $ cd timefold-quickstarts/java/project-job-scheduling

2. Start the application with Maven:

   $ mvn quarkus:dev

3. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

4. Click on the Solve button.

Then try live coding:

1. Make some changes in the source code.

2. Refresh your browser (F5).

Notice that those changes are immediately in effect.

Run the application with Timefold Solver Enterprise Edition

For high-scalability use cases, switch to Timefold Solver Enterprise Edition, our commercial offering. Contact Timefold to obtain the credentials required to access our private Enterprise Maven repository.

1. Create .m2/settings.xml in your home directory with the following content:

   <settings>
     ...
     <servers>
       <server>
         <!-- Replace "my_username" and "my_password" with credentials obtained from a Timefold representative. -->
         <id>timefold-solver-enterprise</id>
         <username>my_username</username>
         <password>my_password</password>
       </server>
     </servers>
     ...
   </settings>

   See Settings Reference for more information on Maven settings.

2. Start the application with Maven:

   $ mvn clean quarkus:dev -Denterprise

3. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

4. Click on the Solve button.

Then try live coding:

1. Make some changes in the source code.

2. Refresh your browser (F5).

Notice that those changes are immediately in effect.

Run the packaged application

When you’re done iterating in quarkus:dev mode, package the application to run as a conventional jar file.

1. Build it with Maven:

   $ mvn package

2. Run the Maven output:

   $ java -jar ./target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar

   Note	To run it on port 8081 instead, add -Dquarkus.http.port=8081.

3. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

4. Click on the Solve button.

Run the application in a container

1. Build a container image:

   $ mvn package -Dcontainer

   The container image name

2. Run a container:

   $ docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm $USER/project-job-scheduling:1.0-SNAPSHOT

Run it native

To increase startup performance for serverless deployments, build the application as a native executable:

1. Install GraalVM and gu install the native-image tool

2. Compile it natively. This takes a few minutes:

   $ mvn package -Dnative

3. Run the native executable:

   $ ./target/*-runner

4. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

5. Click on the Solve button.
