    Description

      Rationale: I would like to spin up and work with Camunda as part of a demo, test case or during trial.

      Right now, I need to download Tomcat and start it up manually. Configuring it is not easy (no camunda.yml or comparible), instead I need to figure out how to configure the tool myself.

      Proposed Improvement:

      • Provide a fat jar distribution based on the existing spring boot starter
      • Allow the fat jar to be configured by a camunda.yml file next to it

      The new workflow could look like this:

      • Download fat-camunda.jar to CWD/fat-camunda.jar
      • Create camunda.yml (configuring database) in CWD/camunda.yml and configure database connection + X
      • Start Camunda as easy as (cd CWD && java -jar fat-camunda.jar)

      Additional note: Despite the fact that the spring boot version of Camunda contains Tomcat, too it starts in 5 seconds rather than ~a minute as showcased in demos during the Camunda Hack Days. In my personal opinion this is a major advantage in a users getting started experience.
