Video of Demo

Overview of liberty:dev mode

hot deployment with background compilation mode so that added pom dependencies, java, resource, and configuration file changes are picked up while your server is running
built on top of the ci.maven plugin

Documentation

https://github.com/WASdev/ci.maven/blob/master/docs/dev.md

Specific functionalities:

default server starts on mvn liberty:dev and stops on ctl-c
java source file changes will be picked up dynamically (any java files in the src/main/java and src/test/java directory)
server configuration file changes (any files in the config directory indicated in the pom.xml) will be picked up dynamically
resource file changes (any files in the src/main/resources directory)
unit and integration tests run on a seperate thread after every successful compile
feature dependency changes in pom.xml are picked up dynamically, triggers feature installation
debug port opened by default at port: 7777, works with any debugger (tested with VS Code and Eclipse)

How to try out liberty:dev mode

Clone this repo git clone git@github.com:ericglau/liberty-dev-demo.git
Run mvn liberty:dev to start liberty:dev mode
Enable the mpHealth-1.0 dependency in the pom.xml. Notice that the new dependency gets automatically installed.
Add mpHealth-1.0 feature to the server.xml, you can now access the http://localhost:9080/health endpoint (though it's just an empty array)

5. Create the src/main/java/io/openliberty/guides/system/SystemHealth.java class. Changes are reflected in the http://localhost:9080/health endpoint.

package io.openliberty.guides.system;

import javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.health.Health;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.health.HealthCheck;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.health.HealthCheckResponse;

@Health
@ApplicationScoped
public class SystemHealth implements HealthCheck {
  @Override
  public HealthCheckResponse call() {
    if (!System.getProperty("wlp.server.name").startsWith("defaultServer")) {
      return HealthCheckResponse.named(SystemResource.class.getSimpleName())
                                .withData("default server", "not available").down()
                                .build();
    }
    return HealthCheckResponse.named(SystemResource.class.getSimpleName())
                              .withData("default server", "available").up().build();
  }
}

Go to the console where you started dev mode, and press Enter. The integration tests are run on a separate thread while dev mode is still active.

7. Create the src/main/java/io/openliberty/guides/inventory/InventoryHealth.java class. Changes are reflected in the http://localhost:9080/health endpoint.

package io.openliberty.guides.inventory;

import javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.ws.rs.client.Client;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.health.Health;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.health.HealthCheck;
import org.eclipse.microprofile.health.HealthCheckResponse;

@Health
@ApplicationScoped
public class InventoryHealth implements HealthCheck {
  @Inject
  InventoryConfig config;

  public boolean isHealthy() {
    if (config.isInMaintenance()) {
      return false;
    }
    try {
      String url = InventoryUtils.buildUrl("http", "localhost",
          Integer.parseInt(System.getProperty("default.http.port")),
          "/system/properties");
      Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
      Response response = client.target(url).request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                                .get();
      if (response.getStatus() != 200) {
        return false;
      }
      return true;
    } catch (Exception e) {
      return false;
    }
  }

  @Override
  public HealthCheckResponse call() {
    if (!isHealthy()) {
      return HealthCheckResponse.named(InventoryResource.class.getSimpleName())
                                .withData("services", "not available").down()
                                .build();
    }
    return HealthCheckResponse.named(InventoryResource.class.getSimpleName())
                              .withData("services", "available").up().build();
  }

}

Change the in_maintenance property in resources/CustomConfigSource.json to true. Changes are reflected in the http://localhost:9080/health endpoint.
Change the config_ordinal value to 800 in the src/main/resources/META-INF/microprofile-config.properties. Changes are reflected in the http://localhost:9080/health endpoint. Undo steps 8 and 9 afterwards.
Make changes to the src/main/webapp/index.html (or any other webapp files). Changes are reflected on the home page http://localhost:9080/.

11. Create the src/test/java/it/io/openliberty/guides/health/HealthTest.java class as an integration test. Press Enter in the console. The tests are run and should pass.

package it.io.openliberty.guides.health;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import java.util.HashMap;
import javax.json.JsonArray;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Test;

public class HealthTest {

    private JsonArray servicesStates;
    private static HashMap<String, String> dataWhenServicesUP;
    private static HashMap<String, String> dataWhenInventoryDown;

    static {
        dataWhenServicesUP = new HashMap<String, String>();
        dataWhenInventoryDown = new HashMap<String, String>();

        dataWhenServicesUP.put("SystemResource", "UP");
        dataWhenServicesUP.put("InventoryResource", "UP");

        dataWhenInventoryDown.put("SystemResource", "UP");
        dataWhenInventoryDown.put("InventoryResource", "DOWN");
    }

    @Test
    public void testIfServicesAreUp() {
        servicesStates = HealthTestUtil.connectToHealthEnpoint(200);
        checkStates(dataWhenServicesUP, servicesStates);
    }

    @Test
    public void testIfInventoryServiceIsDown() {
        servicesStates = HealthTestUtil.connectToHealthEnpoint(200);
        checkStates(dataWhenServicesUP, servicesStates);
        HealthTestUtil.changeInventoryProperty(HealthTestUtil.INV_MAINTENANCE_FALSE, 
                                               HealthTestUtil.INV_MAINTENANCE_TRUE);
        servicesStates = HealthTestUtil.connectToHealthEnpoint(503);
        checkStates(dataWhenInventoryDown, servicesStates);
    }

    private void checkStates(HashMap<String, String> testData, JsonArray servStates) {
        testData.forEach((service, expectedState) -> {
            assertEquals("The state of " + service + " service is not matching.", 
                         expectedState, 
                         HealthTestUtil.getActualState(service, servStates));
        });
    }

    @After
    public void teardown() {
        HealthTestUtil.cleanUp();
    }

}

Connect to the debug port 7777 with a debugger.
When you are done use ctl-c to terminate liberty:dev mode and stop your server

How to use liberty:dev in an existing project

(Optional) To Build from Source

Clone ci.ant: git clone https://github.com/wasdev/ci.ant.git
Clone ci.common: git clone https://github.com/wasdev/ci.common.git
Clone ci.maven: git clone https://github.com/wasdev/ci.maven.git
Build ci.ant mvn clean install -DskipTests, then ci.common mvn clean install, and then ci.maven mvn clean install to generate 3.1.M1-SNAPSHOT of the liberty-maven-plugin

To Use

Do one of the following:
a) Perform the steps in the "To Build from Source", then in your pom.xml specify version 3.1.M1-SNAPSHOT for the liberty-maven-plugin
or
b) In your pom.xml specify version 3.0.M1 for the liberty-maven-plugin, which will use the milestone release from Maven Central
e.g.

<plugin>
    <groupId>net.wasdev.wlp.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>liberty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.M1</version>

Ensure you have no compilation errors by running mvn install
Provided you have no compilation errors, start liberty:dev mode with mvn liberty:dev
Make any code changes to java source files, resource files or configuration files and see that the changes are picked up dynamically while the server is running
Attach a debugger, by default the liberty:dev mode allows for a debugger to attach to port: 7777. Note: this will not work if you have a jvmOptions property set in your pom.xml
When you are done use 'ctl-c' to terminate liberty:dev mode and stop your server
