    • Announcing Thorntail 2.2.1.Final

    By The Thorntail Team | Published Oct 30, 2018 | Updated Oct 31, 2018

    Thorntail 2.2.1.Final

    Winter is coming, at least in the Northern Hemisphere, but we can stay warm with another Thorntail release! Say "hello" to Thorntail 2.2.1.Final!

    What’s New?

    For those of you who like to start your app from the IDE, this release brings a brand new Thorntail Runner. To use it, just add the io.thorntail:thorntail-runner:2.2.1.Final dependency to your pom.xml and run the Runner class from your IDE. Please note that only war packaging is supported. The Runner class javadoc describes the available system properties to configure the execution.

    This release also contains several bugfixes from different areas of the product, such as MicroProfile Config, MicroProfile RestClient or the topology-openshift fraction.

    Two new HowTos have been added: how to expose application metrics using MicroProfile Metrics and Prometheus, and how to do distributed tracing with MicroProfile OpenTracing and Jaeger.

    There were other improvements around dependencies in some fractions.

    @CreateSwarm is deprecated

    WARNING: Breaking changes!

    @CreateSwarm annotation is now deprecated and shouldn’t be used anymore.

    Config keys breaking changes

    WARNING: Breaking changes!

    As an additional task on renaming from WildFly Swarm to Thorntail, all configuration keys had been renamed from swarm.x.y to thorntail.x.y. The configuration system will still accept the old swarm names. However, the old swarm prefix no longer works for certain system properties. See THORN-2205 for more details. It is recommended to change all occurences of -Dswarm. in all Thorntail invocations, including the Thorntail Maven plugin, to -Dthorntail.
