dropwizard-launcher

Maven plugin to start and stop dropwizard servers in a separate process.

USAGE

The dropwizard-launcher-maven-plugin has two goals:

• launch-dropwizard: starts a dropwizard server
• stop-dropwizard: stops the dropwizard server started by launch-dropwizard

Common configuration parameters:

• stopPort (default 44156): port used to notify the dropwizard server it must shut down. Use a projet-specific port to avoid conflicts. Under the hood this parameter sets the STOP.PORT jetty parameter.
• skip (default false): skip plugin execution.

Goal launch-dropwizard can take three parameters:

• jarFile: path to the dropwizard jar file
• jvmarg: options for the jvm
• confFile: the server YAML configuration file

Goal stop-dropwizard has no parameter.
