Deployment Helper Plugin

The Deployment Helper plugin lets you create a cluster deployable WAR from your OSGi artifacts.

Usage

To use the plugin, include it in your project’s root pom.xml file:

<build>
    <plugins>
    ...
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.liferay</groupId>
            <artifactId>com.liferay.deployment.helper</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.4</version>
            <configuration>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    ...
    </plugins>
</build>

You can view an example POM containing the Deployment Helper configuration here.
