Multiple applications including a command line application

[at15]

Though I didn't plan to use microservice, I do need a command line application and a web application. The command line application could be used to do tasks like migration, generate some code from template, validate code etc. And the web application just works as normal backend.

• [ ] write a sample applications https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-simple
• [ ] build two separated jars use commandline arguments to start different spring application https://github.com/paulc4/microservices-demo

we need to split the project into two modules if we want to have two jars, another easier way is to have a main class and choose which application we will use based on commandline parameters. This is better since we don't publish any module yet, the easier the better.

since we are using php now, this issue is no longer needed.
