Liberty Maven Plug-In 2.0

Version 2.0 of the liberty-maven-plugin provides exciting new capability for developing web applications for the Liberty server. It includes improvements that allow the WebSphere Developer Tools (WDT) better integration with the Liberty servers created in Maven WAR projects. Grab the WDT 17.0.0.2 or later release to work with this version of the plug-in. Improvements include:

• Loose application configuration for easy application debug without rebuilding the WAR.
• Ability to copy a configuration directory if you are using included configuration files.
• New test-start-server and test-stop-server goals that honor common skip test mechanisms.
• Ability to easily update your Liberty license to a production license.
• New debug-server goal
• New liberty-archetype-webapp archetype to create a new sample web project.
• New liberty-maven-app-parent parent POM that binds commonly used liberty-maven-plugin goals to the default lifecycle.
• The liberty-assembly automatically binds more goals to simplify your POM.
