+## How-to package front/back in a single jar and run it
+
+Let's go one step further. Wouldn't it be convenient for production to only have a single jar to run ?
+
+To create a single jar (Java archive), in addition to the steps above we need to compile the front end code (typescript etc.) 
+using Angular Cli and to copy the compilation result (dist folder) in our springboot backend (in a special folder 
+for static content) so it can be packaged into a jar file along with the backend.
+
+Here are the command lines (hope it is self explanatory):
+
+ git clone https://github.com/jaxio/celerio-angular-quickstart.git
+ cd celerio-angular-quickstart/quickstart
+ ng new web
+ rm web/src/main.ts web/src/app/app.module.ts web/src/app/app.component.* web/src/styles.css
+ mvn -Pdb,metadata,gen generate-sources
+ cd web
+ npm install --save @angular/animations
+ npm install --save @angular/material@2.0.0-beta.3
+ npm install --save primeng@4.0.0
+ npm install --save font-awesome
+ ng build --prod
+ cp dist/* ../src/main/resources/static
+ cd ..
+ mvn package
+ java -jar target/celerio-angular-quickstart-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
