  == Running ptrans for development
  
  TIP: Don't forget to start a Hawkular Metrics web server as well.
  
  === With the start script
  
  You can use the provided `start.sh` script to start the server (this will build the source first).
  
  Make sure to specify a configuration file on the command line:
  
  [source,bash]
  ----
  ./start.sh -c ptrans.conf
  ----
  
  This method does not allow to configure logging and works on *nix systems only.
  
  === With Maven
  
  Once the project is built, simply run the following command:
  
  [source,bash]
  ----
  mvn exec:java
  ----
  
  By default, the log4j and ptrans.conf files at the project base directory will be used.
  If you want to use your own files:
  
  [source,bash]
  ----
  mvn exec:java -Ddev.log4j.configuration=<path to log4j file> -Ddev.ptrans.conf=<path to ptrans.conf>
  ----
