The Maven build prepares the admin console to be deployed as a theme on the Keycloak server.
mvn install
The jar created with mvn install
needs to be deployed to a Maven repository. From there, it will become part of the Keycloak server build.
For development, you can also just copy the contents of ./target/classes
to <keycloak server>/themes/keycloak.v2
. Then restart the server.
Until New Admin Console becomes the default, you will need to start Keycloak server like this:
$> bin/standalone.sh -Dkeycloak.profile.feature.admin2=enabled
Then go to Realm Settings --> Themes
and set Admin Console Theme to keycloak.v2
.
