Liberty Gradle Plug-in 3.6
Version 3.6 of the Liberty Gradle Plugin is a minor release with new functionality and some minor fixes.
The Liberty Gradle Plugin now supports running with Gradle 8.0. The minimum supported version of Gradle is 7.3, which is when Gradle introduced full support for Java 17. When using a Gradle wrapper, the version should match the version of Gradle being used.
Support was added to copy user features to the Liberty installation when neither installUtility nor featureUtility are available. This is primarily for installing user features on Liberty runtimes earlier than version 21.0.0.11.
The following fixes are included in this release:
- Update documentation #789 #794 #808
- Fix loose app generation #797 #806 #814
- Handle variable resolution in more locations and scenarios #812 #809
- Improve debug for dev mode #802
See the commit log for the full set of the changes since the previous milestone release.
The Liberty Gradle Plugin 3.6 release is available on the Maven Central repository.
