Dear Codehaus Cargo enthusiasts

After another month since our last release, we are happy to announce the immediate availability of Codehaus Cargo 1.7.7. This release comes with the below bug fixes and improvements, as well as another very important change to ensure the licenses are correct:

• General

  • [CARGO-1494] - Isolate licensed DTDs

• Containers - JBoss

  • [CARGO-1490] - Add jaxpmodule app argument to JBoss 7.2.x

• Containers - Jetty

  • [CARGO-1492] - Remove the webdefault.xml files from Codehaus Cargo and use XML replacements instead

  • [CARGO-1495] - The Jetty Embedded Local Container doesn't work with Jetty 9.4.20

• Containers - WebSphere

  • [CARGO-1493] - Deployer start / stop feature for WebSphere

• Containers - WildFly

  • [CARGO-1491] - Add support for WildFly 17.x

For the ones wondering about the license topic: The license of Codehaus Cargo itself, as well as the Uberjar is Apache License 2.0 (except for the WebSphere Liberty container which has been released under the MIT License). In case you want to use the Java API offline with some containers / deployables, the DTD parsers require some XML files to be available in the classpath, yet these files have “various” licenses. In order to resolve this, Codehaus Cargo versions 1.7.7 onwards have these DTDs in a separate JAR, not part of the Uberjar. This means that:

• If you are using Codehaus Cargo via Java API, ANT or the Cargo Daemon and are getting strange error messages with XML parsers such as java.net.UnknownHostException: java.sun.com when you work with certain containers / deployables, please download the convenience JAR with DTDs that are used by some Cargo components which have licenses incompatible with the rest of Cargo and add it into the classpath.

• This does not affect the Maven2 / Maven 3 plugin, as it will download the required dependencies automatically (and, since Maven downloads and stores the DTDs' JAR separately from Codehaus Cargo you won’t run into license issues).

To try it out:

• Users of the Maven 2 / Maven 3 plugin simply need to use the Codehaus Cargo plugin version 1.7.7

• Users of the Java API can download the new Uberjar from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-core-uberjar/1.7.7/cargo-core-uberjar-1.7.7.jar

• Similarly, users of the ANT tasks can download the new ANT tasks from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-ant/1.7.7/cargo-ant-1.7.7.jar

• Finally, the ones who want to see the Cargo Daemon can get it from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-daemon-webapp/1.7.7/cargo-daemon-webapp-1.7.7.war and either use the WAR directly as an executable JAR or as a WAR file deployed on another Web container

Enjoy!

Slightly less a month after our last release, we are happy to announce the immediate availability of Codehaus Cargo 1.7.6. This release comes with one bug fix and one very important change to ensure the licenses are correct:

• General

  • [CARGO-1489] - Incorrect license of cargo-core-uberjar

• Containers - WildFly

  • [CARGO-1488] - application-roles.properties lines ending

For the ones wondering about the license topic: The license of Codehaus Cargo itself, as well as the Uberjar is Apache License 2.0 (except for the WebSphere Liberty container which has been released under the MIT License), but the cargo-core-uberjar artifact up until this very version has been containing files having LGPL license (coming transitively from JOnAS through repackaging). In order to resolve this, Codehaus Cargo versions 1.7.6 onwards will not contain the JOnAS Configurator in the Uberjar. This means that:

• If you plan to use the Codehaus Cargo JOnAS containers via Java API, ANT or the Cargo Daemon, you will have to download the JOnAS Configurator JARs separately and put them in your classpath.

• This does not affect the Maven2 / Maven 3 plugin, as it will download the required dependencies automatically (and, since Maven downloads and stores the JOnAS Configurator JARs separately from Codehaus Cargo you won’t run into license issues).

To try it out:

• Users of the Maven 2 / Maven 3 plugin simply need to use the Codehaus Cargo plugin version 1.7.6

• Users of the Java API can download the new Uberjar from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-core-uberjar/1.7.6/cargo-core-uberjar-1.7.6.jar

• Similarly, users of the ANT tasks can download the new ANT tasks from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-ant/1.7.6/cargo-ant-1.7.6.jar

• Finally, the ones who want to see the Cargo Daemon can get it from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-daemon-webapp/1.7.6/cargo-daemon-webapp-1.7.6.war and either use the WAR directly as an executable JAR or as a WAR file deployed on another Web container

Enjoy!

Dear Codehaus Cargo enthusiasts

As we accumulated many interesting fixes and improvements since our last release, we are happy to announce the immediate availability of Codehaus Cargo 1.7.5. This release comes with the below new features and bug fixes:

  • [CARGO-1485] - Cargo still deploys autodeployable even if <deployables> is not empty in a WAR project packaging

To try it out:
