• Run mvn package this will bring in the required spring cloud maven repositories and build
• Run java -jar spring-cloud-consul-sample/target/spring-cloud-consul-sample-${VERSION}.jar
• visit http://localhost:8080, verify that {"serviceId":"<yourhost>:8080","host":"<yourhost>","port":8080} results
• run java -jar spring-cloud-consul-sample/target/spring-cloud-consul-sample-${VERSION}.jar --server.port=8081
• visit http://localhost:8080 again, verify that {"serviceId":"<yourhost>:8081","host":"<yourhost>","port":8081} eventually shows up in the results in a round robbin fashion (may take a minute or so).
