Announcing Thorntail 2.0.0.Final

By The Thorntail Team | Published Jun 27, 2018

Thorntail 2.0.0.Final

The new name of WildFly Swarm is Thorntail! Enjoy the freedom of flying high like a Thorntail bird!

What’s New?

Did we say we have a new name? Thorntail!
Migration Tips
CDI Interceptor support for MicroProfile REST Client

New Name - Thorntail!

Yes we finally completed the migration and can provide a release of Thorntail!

As part of the name change we have left the YYYY.MM.VV versioning scheme in the past, switching to the more sensible major.minor.micro versioning. This will make it easier to represent stability and large changes in the version number alone.

Migration Notes

Migration from WildFly Swarm 2018.5.0 to Thorntail 2.0.0.Final is straightforward. Packages, class names, the set of artifacts and configuration properties did not change. Therefore, you will most likely only need to change the project build configuration.

TL;DR

groupId of all artifacts now starts with io.thorntail prefix, replacing the previous value of org.wildfly.swarm
The Maven plugin also has a new artifactId: thorntail-maven-plugin
The suffix of generated uberjars and hollow JARs has changed to -thorntail.jar,

Five Steps to Migrate Your Maven Project

Change groupId and version of the BOM:

 <dependency>
    <groupId>io.thorntail</groupId>
    <artifactId>bom</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0.Final</version>
 </dependency>

Change the groupId of each built-in fraction to io.thorntail, for example:

<!-- BEFORE  -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.wildfly.swarm</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxrs</artifactId>
</dependency>
<!-- AFTER  -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>io.thorntail</groupId>
  <artifactId>jaxrs</artifactId>
</dependency>

Change groupId and artifactId of the Maven plugin:

<!-- BEFORE  -->
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.wildfly.swarm</groupId>
  <artifactId>wildfly-swarm-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<!-- AFTER  -->
<plugin>
  <groupId>io.thorntail</groupId>
  <artifactId>thorntail-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>

The suffix of a generated uberjar has changed to -thorntail.jar so don’t forget to change the command used to run your app, for example:
```
java -jar target/myexample-1.0.0-thorntail.jar
```
The Maven plugin name has changed, so if you invoke it from command line, don’t forget to use the new name as well:
```
mvn thorntail:start
```

Fabric8 Maven plugin changes

If you use the Fabric8 Maven plugin to deploy your application to Kubernetes / OpenShift, you need to update to 3.5.40. This is the first version that supports Thorntail v2. The feature set is identical to the Fabric8 Maven plugin support for WildFly Swarm. Here’s a summary of names that you need to change if you refer to them directly:

Table 1. Fabric8 Maven plugin changes
Fabric8 Maven plugin concept	WildFly Swarm	Thorntail v2
Docker image generator	`wildfly-swarm`	`thorntail-v2`
Health check enricher name	`f8-wildfly-swarm-health-check`	`f8-thorntail-v2-health-check`
Reference to health check enricher in `pom.xml`	`<wildfly-swarm-health-check>`	`<thorntail-v2-health-check>`

CDI Interceptor support for MicroProfile REST Client

We’ve added a non portable feature to MP REST Client that enables CDI Interceptors to be used on REST Client methods.

Full details on the feature and how it works can be found here.
