Re: [Mars-sim-developers] spring boot with thymeleaf

[manny k. <man...@gm...>]

Hi Barry,

I'll like to try out your approach of building and starting Web UI.

Question 1: can you start the sim before deployment without maven?

Before we redesign mars-sim to be  deployed as a persistent sim world for
users to log in,

Q2: how does the user start the local sim on their computer? Do they have
to have spring boot pre-installed and maven pre-installed?

We still want to package mars-sim in such a way that a user only have to
click on the icon to start the sim.
