[keycloak-dev] Simple way to run Keycloak server during development

[Stian Thorgersen]

First build a clean copy of the project

# mvn clean install

Then start the server with:

# mvn -pl testsuite/integration exec:java -Pkeycloak-server


If you're working on the admin console or forms* you can add -Dresources when starting the server, this will serve html, css and images directly from the filesystem so you don't need to rebuild/restart the server to see changes:

# mvn -pl testsuite/integration exec:java -Pkeycloak-server -Dresources


* Note: for forms this will only work for css and images as the templates are loaded from the classpath
