Start a Liberty server in the foreground. The run goal implicitly creates the server, installs features referenced by the server.xml file, and deploys the application before starting the Liberty server. Note: This goal is designed to be executed directly from the Maven command line.
The run
goal is supported with multi module Maven projects in the same way as the dev
goal but substitute dev
for run
in the examples. This will build the multi module project and start the Liberty server in the foreground, using Liberty configuration from the module that does not have other modules depending on it.
The following are the parameters supported by this goal in addition to the common server parameters and the common parameters.
The run goal will propagate changes from source to the server configuration.
