🚀 DevOps Tutorial: How to compile, test, package, and run a bootable Java Web App using Maven & VS Code!

Gone are the days of deploying thick WAR files into heavy, external application servers. Modern cloud-native DevOps relies on bootable, standalone JAR files with embedded web servers. In this video, we cover the exact pipeline from writing code in VS Code to verifying a live web app in your browser using the `java -jar` command.

🔥 Video Timeline:
00:00 - Introduction to Cloud-Native Bootable JARs
01:30 - Setting up the Java Web Project in VS Code
03:15 - Using Maven to Compile and verify dependencies
05:00 - Running Automated Tests (JUnit) via Terminal & Testing UI
07:15 - Packaging the App: Generating the Executable Fat JAR (`mvn clean package`)
09:40 - Inspecting the Target Folder & the Generated Bootable Artifact
11:20 - Launching the App via Command Line: `java -jar your-app.jar`
13:30 - Testing in the Browser: Verifying endpoints on localhost:8080
16:15 - DevOps Context: How this translates to Docker and CI/CD pipelines

💡 What makes a JAR "Bootable"?
We dive into how the Spring Boot Maven Plugin (or alternative shaded wrappers) automatically bundles an embedded servlet container (like Apache Tomcat or Netty) and packages all external dependencies directly inside a single standalone archive.

⚙️ Command Cheat Sheet Used in Video:
1. Clear old builds and test: `mvn clean test`
2. Compile and bundle into a runnable JAR: `mvn clean package`
3. Execute the server locally: `java -jar target/filename.jar`
4. Access via browser: http://localhost:8080
