Request: a command to compile just `kafka-ui-api`, ignoring the frontend

[ottaviohartman]

Is your proposal related to a problem?

I'd like to be able to iterate building the Java portion of kafka-ui without building the frontend.

I assumed this would work, but it runs npm:

cd kafka-ui-api
 ./mvnw compile -Pprod 

I was told to open this issue on Discord.

Describe the solution you'd like

cd kafka-ui-api
 ./mvnw compile -Pprod 

The above should compile just the backend.

I can take this one. What about this solution? specifying "api-prod" as arg.

cd kafka-ui-api
 ./mvnw compile -Papi-prod 

Actually the ./mvnw compile -Pprod doesn't compile the "kafka-ui-contract" (or am I wrong?). So when compiling the "kafka-ui-api" if you dont compile the contract you can receive some erros (if the contracts were updated).

Maybe this is an another issue?

Sure, thanks. Yeah, let's do something like this. It depends on the directory you run this command in.

Since we don't have the wrapper as part of the modules what is the approach we want to follow regarding this request? Do we want to skip frontend build for ui-api and ui-contract?

By running something like this ./mvnw clean install -Pprod -DskipUIBuild=true

And changing this on both POM's:

configuration.skip.skipUIBuild

Original Request is based on this possibility but it is not anymore like this:

cd kafka-ui-api ./mvnw compile -Pprod

what if we create a new profile with skipUIBuild property set to enabled by default?

That is what the closed PR was doing and was pushed back due to duplicated code.

@Haarolean Lets not create unnecessary profiles. I suggested simple solution here https://github.com/provectus/kafka-ui/pull/1696#discussion_r830601917 . In should work like ./mvnw compile -DskipUiBuild=true.

Do we want it just for api or also for contract project?
