Small Improvement to README.md – Added Commands for Custom Ports and Cargo

Development
1

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

As someone who recently started exploring the OpenMRS core project, I’ve been spending some time reading through the README.md to understand the development setup better.

While going through it, I noticed that it didn’t include any examples for running the application on a custom port or using the Cargo plugin as an alternative to Jetty. These options can be quite helpful, especially for new developers who want more flexibility during development.

So I’ve created a small pull request to add the following commands:

mvn -Djetty.http.port=xxxx jetty:run

mvn -Dcargo.servlet.port=xxxx cargo:run

I believe this addition could make the onboarding process a bit smoother and encourage contributors to explore different ways of running the application.

Here’s the PR link: TRUNK-6373: updatedReadme by JayadityaGit · Pull Request #5130 · openmrs/openmrs-core · GitHub Feedback, suggestions, or improvements are most welcome! :blush:

Thanks for your time and support!
