featureUtility installFeature

The featureUtility installFeature command installs a single feature or a list of space-separated features. You can use the featureUtility installFeature command to install features into Open Liberty from Maven Central, or from a Maven repository that’s hosted inside your firewall.

Usage examples

Install the MicroProfile Health 2.2 feature from Maven Central:

featureUtility installFeature mpHealth-2.2

Install the MicroProfile Health 2.2 feature without caching the feature to the local Maven repository:

featureUtility installFeature mpHealth-2.2 --noCache

Syntax

Run the command from the path_to_liberty/bin directory.

featureUtility installFeature featureName [options]

featureName: The name of the feature or features that you want to install. You can include one or more space-separated features by specifying the feature shortname or the Maven coordinate. If you specify a Maven coordinate, it must contain the group ID and the artifact ID, for example, io.openliberty.features:mpHealth-2.2. If the version and packaging type aren’t specified, the version defaults to the current runtime version and the packaging type defaults to an ESA file.
options: One or more optional parameters.
