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

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
