Deprecated Features or Functionality

  • Deprecated the muleDistribution parameter to configure the Mule distribution Maven artifact (now the official Maven coordinates are used)

Migration Guide

The plugin now only supports two goals: deploy and undeploy. To configure where you want to deploy you need to specify the deployment type, for example <deploymentType>cloudhub</deploymentType>.

By default the plugin now deploys to a local Mule server, downloading the distribution from configured Maven repositories.

Only one application is deployed. For multiple applications, you need to configure one plugin execution for each.

The package has moved to org.mule.tools.maven.mule.plugin.

Known Issues

  • Local Mule clusters don’t work properly in Windows
