Plugin Documentation

Goals available for this plugin:

Goal Description
application:generate Generates an application file. Merges dependency jars into a single file, prepended with a launch shell script.
application:help Display help information on application.
Call mvn application:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=<goal-name> to display parameter details.
application:upload Copies an application to some target directory and creates/updates a symlink pointing to it. The symlink is mandatory, because it allows version updates without breaking running applications. So it's not possible to only install the application file with this plugin.
