A Maven 2 plugin that wraps the Cargo Java API
 | Functional tests The usage of Cargo for executing functional tests on a container does not mandate this m2 plugin. You could directly use the Cargo Java API from your Java unit test classes (JUnit, TestNG, etc), as described on the Functional testing page. |

Getting Started
As usual the best way to learn to use a tool is through examples. We have several sample projects that we use as our internal functional tests suite. We really recommend that you check them out.
In addition here are the typical uses cases covered by the plugin:
Here are the different goals available to call on this plugin:
Goals |
Description |
cargo:start |
Start a container. That task can optionally install and configure a container; it can also optionally deploy deployables (WAR, EAR, etc.) to it. |
cargo:stop |
Stop a container |
cargo:configure |
Create the configuration for a local container, without starting it |
cargo:package |
Package the local container |
cargo:deployer-deploy (aliased to cargo:deploy) |
Deploy a deployable to a running container |
cargo:deployer-undeploy (aliased to cargo:undeploy) |
Undeploy a deployable from a running container |
cargo:deployer-start |
Start a deployable already installed in a running container |
cargo:deployer-stop |
Stop a deployed deployable without undeploying it |
cargo:deployer-redeploy (aliased to cargo:redeploy) |
Undeploy and deploy again a deployable |
cargo:uberwar |
Merge several WAR files into one |
cargo:install |
Installs a container distribution on the file system. Note that the cargo:start task will also install the container automatically (but will not call cargo:install). |
cargo:help |
Get help (list of available goals, available options, etc.) (since v1.0.2) |
The configuration elements are described in the Reference Guide section.
