Mission

Cargo is a thin wrapper that allows you to manipulate Java EE containers in a standard way.  

Tools

Cargo provides the following Tools and APIs:

  • A Java API to start/stop/configure Java Containers and deploy modules into them.
  • A Java API to parse/create/merge Java EE Modules
  • Ant tasks.
  • Maven 2/Maven 3 plugin.

These tools and APIs can be used in a standalone fashion or via various IDEs.

Usage

Cargo is often used to deploy applications to containers from test APIs (such as JUnit), ANT or Maven builds. Cargo can install the container and dependencies needed for your deployment as well. Please find below the links to our Quick Start guides:

We also encourage you to report success and failures on different versions of those containers in the Tested on section. Moreover, some containers are tested dialy on the Codehaus Cargo Continous Integration System; for these the container's page also shows which version is tested.
