Deploying to Production

To create a production build, call mvnw clean package -Pproduction (Windows), or ./mvnw clean package -Pproduction (Mac & Linux). This will build a JAR file with all the dependencies and front-end resources, ready to be deployed. The file can be found in the target folder after the build completes.

Once the JAR file is built, you can run it using java -jar target/mytodo-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
