    • Announcing WildFly Swarm 2017.2.0

    By The WildFly Swarm Team | Published Feb 2, 2017

    Announcing our lovingly produced release for Valentine’s!

    To spread the love for Valentine’s Day, we’re happy to announce version 2017.2.0 of WildFly Swarm!

    What’s New?

    • New docs and config visibility

    • @DefaultDeployment defaults to WAR

    • Fraction auto detection for Arquillian

    • Update to Keycloak 2.5.0.Final

    What is WildFly Swarm?

    WildFly Swarm is the decomposition and reconstitution of the popular WildFly Java Application Server in order to support just enough appserver for microservice type applications.

    Each portion of the appserver is referred to as a fraction, which many times maps to a subsystem from WildFly, but also may include other discrete chunks of non-Java EE or WildFly functionality, such as Swagger, or Jolokia.

    New docs and config visibility

    We’ve officially released our How To’s and new Reference Guide!

    They both might be a little sparse right now, but we will be working hard to fill them with valuable information to make it even easier to develop with WildFly Swarm!

    If you have ideas about what should be there, particularly for the How To’s, then please get in touch and let us know.

    Along with the configuration being present in the Reference Guide for each fraction, you can now see what configuration is available for your particular uber jar with:

    java -jar myapp-swarm.jar --config-help all

    Warning, that will produce a lot of output.

    If you’d like to see the configuration options for a single fraction, such as Undertow:

    java -jar myapp-swarm.jar --config-help undertow

    @DefaultDeployment defaults to WAR

    Previously when annotating an Arquillian test with @DefaultDeployment it would default to creating a JAR for your test deployment.

    After feedback from the community we’ve switched the default to be WAR, which is the far larger use case for our community.

    So, be warned that if you have a test with @DefaultDeployment without setting the type, it will now create a WAR instead of a JAR.

    Fraction auto detection for Arquillian

    Previously there was no way for Arquillian to perform auto detection as part of running a test, which wasn’t great for projects that relied on the plugin doing that as part of a build.

    We’ve now modified our Arquillian process to perform the same auto detection that the plugin does when there are no explicit dependencies present in your project. Making it possible to test a project relying on auto detection as part of its build.
