How to Run

The there two ways to execute this work. Debug way and Gradle.

• make run to execute the main class

To debug you must execute the HelloWorld Class, like so:

1. Open the project into InteliJ IDEA or Eclipse.
2. Locate the HelloWorld Class under src/main/java/hello.
3. Create a breakpoint somewhere in the main function to stop at.
4. Right click on the HelloWorld Class and Debug the main function.
