Support multiple applications in deploy/undeploy

[bwa]

Hi. Looks like the v1.1 of the plugin does not support several

I have put several applications ( a natural thing to to.. IMHO) in the configuration, but the deploy/undeploy seems to only 'see' the first one.

Is this as designed or a bug ?

If it's designed, I would like to add this as a request....

I have looked into the code (DeployAppMojo) and it seems like the design is to deploy only one Artifact. And the ant:deploy task is also designed to deploy just one file.

Since I have cloned the project I could try to fix this locally, but should I execute several ant tasks ( one for each Artifact) or should I update the ant:deploy to deal with several files ?

My guts are telling me that maybe execute a serial of ant:deployt is better, cause it makes the logging more granular ?

Locally on my machine I created a new goal 'install-apps-to-apps', which is a copy of install-apps but copies all dependencies to the apps folder instead of the dropins. Works great, and kind of solved one of my big issues with populating a liberty server with a lot of applications which is preconfigured in server.xml. Next is to create a loose config xml file instead of copy the artifact....

Hi @bwa, for the ant plugin there is a way to deploy multiple applications to the dropins directory by using a fileset but it seems this is not implemented to the Maven plugin yet. By the way it would be great if you create new issues for what you think could be good improvements to be added. I will mark this as an enhancement. Thanks.

@chyt Looking at the current implementation of deploy/undeploy, I believe we do support multiple applications for both. Do you agree? If so, we can close this issue. And yes I realize it is very old. Trying to clean up some of the older issues.
