Hi (warning, total kotlin/java newb). I’m trying to get the webserver described here https://github.com/kotlin/ktor to run for me. I’ve followed the gradle route (followed all the instructions in the linked gradle page) and gradle build seems to be telling me everything is alright.

Problem 1) The instructions say ‘run the app’ but appears to assume you’re going to install an IDE to do that (which I don’t want to do right now) …. can someone tell me how to do it from the command line ? (I tried hacking things like java hello -cp <locations of my jarfile> but couldn’t come up with a combination that worked.)

Problem 2) I have no idea if my kotlin source is in a correctly named file and thus being picked up and compiled. I couldn’t see any guidance on that.

My efforts so far are at https://github.com/baob/sandbox-kotlin-ktor-hello

Thanks for any help
