ironworker-java-archetype

Maven archetype for Java-based IronWorker workers.

IronWorker is a cloud-based asynchronous task processing service. The IronWorker website provides step-by-step instructions for creating and deploying a Java-based "Hello World" worker.

This project provides similar sample code for developing a Java-based worker, with the following significant improvements:

• This sample worker is packaged as a Maven archetype. Simply install/deploy the archetype and then create a new project using the mvn archetype:generate command.
• When creating your project with the archetype, provide your IronWorker token and project id and your iron.json file will be created automagically.
• Once you have generated your worker project, run a Maven build (mvn package or whatnot) and an executable jar will be placed in the /target/worker directory along with your iron.json and .worker files. Just go to this directory and you can upload your worker with the iron_worker command line utility (iron_worker upload <worker-name>). Done!
• Your Maven dependencies will be bundled with your worker inside the executable jar file, so there is no need to upload separate jar files.
