Build and Install

[cyclotron3k]

Related to Issue #27, and PR #35

I realise that the PR I made may have an issue, but I don't have any experience with Maven & Java projects so I wanted to throw it open for discussion before I attempt a solution.

In the updates to the documentation I submitted, under the "Native Installation" heading, I suggest the following:

Set up the following environment variables:

export SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/mindcode_development
export SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME=postgres_username
export SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD=postgres_password

Then run:

./mvnw install

These environment variables override the database connection parameters that are defined in the two application.properties files, which is an issue because the ./mvnw install command seems to run the unit tests. So now the unit tests and the web application will try to use the same database.

Maven has a -DskipTests=true option. I think that would be the easiest way to prevent problems? A simple change to bin/run-local in #28 would be quick and painless to add. The README is already updated to use bin/run-local. What do you think?
