Description Alex Blewitt

Build Identifier: 2.1.0.RELEASE

Maven has jetty:run and tomcat:run, which can be used to bootstrap a runtime environment from a Maven project, and in the case of WAR files, load them into the container.

Having an ability to fire up a Virgo installation and be able to deploy a WAR, WAB or PAR into Virgo would greatly simplify its use. (This depends on Virgo to be accessible from some Maven site, so that it could be used in such a way.)

A problem for non-PARs is the acquisition of non-direct dependencies. However, being able to launch WAR and PARs into Virgo would not be a problem; it's really only WABs that would need some kind of extra support. (Perhaps a Maven 'runtime' dependency would be sufficient to include transitive dependencies)

Reproducible: Always

A good suggestion. Thanks Alex.

Does that mean that we will be able to deploy bundles to Virgo server via Maven; similar to the tomcat:deploy Mojo.
