libertyPackage task

Package a Liberty server.

The libertyPackage task is used to create a ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ or JAR archive of your Liberty runtime and server. In Open Liberty and WebSphere Liberty versions since 8.5.5.9, it is possible to package a server into an executable jar file by setting the include parameter to runnable. The created JAR file can be executed using the java -jar command.

dependsOn

libertyPackage depends on installLiberty.
libertyPackage also depends on deploy and installFeature if configured.

Properties

See the Liberty server configuration properties for common server configuration.

The libertyPackage task uses a packageLiberty block to define task specific behavior.

include String 1.0 Controls the package contents. Can be used with values all, usr, minify, wlp, runnable, all,runnable and minify,runnable. The default value is all. The runnable, all,runnable and minify,runnable values are supported beginning with 8.5.5.9 and works with jar type packages only. Yes, only when the os option is set.
os String 1.0 A comma-delimited list of operating systems that you want the packaged server to support. To specify that an operating system is not to be supported, prefix it with a minus sign ("-"). The 'include' attribute must be set to minify. No
packageDirectory String 3.0 Directory of the packaged file. The default value is ${project.getLayout().getBuildDirectory().getAsFile().get()}/libs. If the directory is not absolute, it is created in ${project.getLayout().getBuildDirectory().getAsFile().get()}/libs. No
packageName String 3.0 Name of the packaged file. The default value is ${project.name}. No
packageType String 3.0 Type of package. Can be used with values zip, jar, tar, or tar.gz. Defaults to jar if runnable is specified for the include property. Otherwise the default value is zip. No

This example shows you how to package a minified ZIP archive.

apply plugin: 'liberty'

liberty {

    server {
        name = 'myServer'

        packageLiberty {
            packageName = "MyPackage"
            include = "minify"
            os = "Linux"
        }
    }
}

This example shows you how to package a runnable JAR file.

apply plugin: 'liberty'

liberty {

    server {
        name = 'myServer'

        packageLiberty {
            packageName = "MyPackage"
            include = "runnable"
        }   
    }
}
