$ just run
Live Reload
just live reloads the application whenever the code changes without a need for rebuilding, recompiling or restarting application.
Just hit save in Intellij IDEA and just will compile the modified code and change will be reflected in the running application within seconds.
Zero Config Infrastructure Services
just starts infrastructure services like databases and message queues without any additional configuration. As soon as it detects that your application connects to a service it starts the docker container and configures the application to connect to it. The best part - services start only once and don't affect the live reload performance at all.
Single command to run anything
No need to think if project is built with Maven or Gradle, if wrapper files are present or if Maven Deamon is installed. Execute just run and just will pick the best command to run the application in dev mode.
Docker Compose Support
just run automatically starts services defined in docker-compose.yml. Whenever docker-compose.yml content changes, containers are reloaded automatically!
$ just format
Zero config code formatting
just format automatically formats the code using Spring Java Format or Spotless.
If you want to customize formatting options, configure your Spotless or Spring Java Format build plugin and just format will pick the right configuration.
$ just build
Building made simple
just build builds application to an executable JAR, native executable, Docker Image or Docker Image with a native executable.
It automatically translates the target into a Maven or Gradle goal depending on which build tool is used in the project so you don't need to remember what Maven profiles to activate or what is the name of the Gradle task.
$ just kill
Killing Processes with style!
just kill allows you to quickly and easily kill processes that are listening on specific ports.
This can be useful if you need to free up a port for a different process, or if you want to stop a process that is no longer needed.
