irc-style-chat-over-websockets/README.md

Purpose of this project

It's one of my old projects just to get used to a new technology - websockets. It's pretty functional in the simplest use case - chatting to one another with a simple irc style functionality, no authorisation as it used to be popular in the old irc times.

How to run it

Environment

$env:JAVA_HOME="C:\developer\bin\sdks\jdk-8.0.252.09-hotspot"

It doesn't mean that it needs to be java 8 but it was tested running with that version.

Bootstrapping procedure

./gradlew bootRun

It works both on Linux and Windows
