      <version>1.0.3</version>
      <configuration>

              </option>
          </commandLineOptions>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

After the goal, two files will appear in ./target directory.

• application-name.war (e.g. helloweb-1.1.0.war, which is Micro Jar)
• application-name-microbundle.jar (e.g. helloweb-1.1.0-microbundle.jar, which is Uber Jar)

We may run it either on CLI directly or via the plugin’s goals; payara-micro:bundle, payara-micro:start and payara-micro:stop. The way to use the plugin can be integrated with any IDEs, so we’re able to develop applications for Payara Micro easily even if we don’t use Payara Server.

Using CLI

Download Payara Micro (payara-micro.jar) first, then deploy Micro Jar using cli
