Sample repository to showcase spring boot

Mostly adapted from

https://spring.io/guides/gs/messaging-stomp-websocket/

The spinner is adapted from

https://github.com/JesseDahl/d3.spinner

This project uses bower to manage the javascript dependencies and npm do manage the build dependencies for the frontend.

This is all integrated into the maven build chain

mvn compile -P generate-frontend

This takes the sources found in src/main/frontend and builds a compressed and minified version into src/main/webapp which is actually used.

This will require maven >= 3.1

Gulp is used as frontend build tool, the minified sources are not checked in.

A good introduction to merging the frontend and backend toolchain can be found here

Spring Framework 4.1 Resource Handling example https://github.com/bclozel/spring-resource-handling/tree/master

To start in development mode, set the spring profile to development and the src/main/frontend folder will be served directly.
