Preface

As an application developer, you can use Red Hat build of Quarkus to create microservices-based applications written in Java that run on OpenShift and serverless environments. Applications compiled to native executables have small memory footprints and fast startup times.

This guide describes how to create a Quarkus project using the Apache Maven plug-in.

Prerequisites

  • OpenJDK (JDK) 11 is installed and the JAVA_HOME environment variable specifies the location of the Java SDK.

    • Log in to the Red Hat Customer Portal to download Red Hat build of Open JDK from the Software Downloads page.
  • Apache Maven 3.6.2 or higher is installed.
