The Liberty Maven plugin added loose application support for enterprise applications. The plugin can now build your whole enterprise application as a loose application for easier debugging with the WebSphere Deverloper Tools (WDT).

The integration between WDT and Maven projects allow the servers created by the Liberty Maven plugin to be managed by WDT. This support is an extension to the Maven web application support added in version 2.0.

There is also a new EAR project archetype.

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.
