How to build and run a JAR:

To build an executable JAR simply run gradle clean then run fatJar gradle task gradle fatJar this will create an executable Jar under build/libs/crawler-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar To run it go to terminal, cd to project directory and run java -jar build/libs/crawler-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar (run from the project root and do not move the jar as it will break the resources)
