Issues for v2/master are being tracked using the JBoss issue tracking system (JIRA). Issues for v4 are being tracked in GitHub Issues. Bug reports and feature requests are greatly appreciated.

Thorntail provides a mechanism for building applications as uber jars, with just enough of the WildFly application server wrapped around it to support each application's use-case.

Note: Thorntail requires Maven 3.2.5 or higher for building your application.

Note: Thorntail requires JDK 8 or higher for building your application or for building Thorntail itself.

In a normal WAR-based maven pom.xml, simply add the following

<plugin>
  <groupId>io.thorntail</groupId>
  <artifactId>thorntail-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>${version.thorntail}</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>package</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

This will take the .war file normally created by your build, and wrap it in the wildfly-swarm mechanisms.

If you normally produce myapp-1.0.war, in your target/ directory will then also be present a myapp-1.0-thorntail.jar.

In order to specify the portions of the WildFly AS your application needs, your pom.xml should specify some of the following dependencies within the io.thorntail Maven group-id:

• bean-validation
• cdi
• ee
• io
• jaxrs
• logging
• naming
• request-controller
• security
• transactions
• undertow
• and many more!

Thorntail attempts to be a well-behaved Maven project. To install to your local repository for usage:

mvn clean install

If you're running short on time:

mvn clean install -DskipTests
