Building

The project has been designed with no dependencies. That isn't to say we hand rolled everything but we have done our best to make sure we don't carry extra baggage when not needed.

Building the project is done using Maven:

mvn clean install

Installation

None really. Just run the file.

Running

If you build the project locally, the resulting artifact can be found in target/ as follow-${version}.jar

To run this, just use this Java command:

java -jar follow-${version}.jar
