BETA_RELEASE_SUMMARY

The Open Liberty RELEASE_VERSION includes the following beta features (along with all GA features):

SUB_FEATURE_TITLE

// // // // // // // //
// EXAMPLE CODE
// // // // // // // //

To enable the new beta features in your app, add them to your server.xml:











Try it now




To try out these features, update your build tools to pull the Open Liberty All Beta Features package instead of the main release. The beta works with Java SE 21, Java SE 17, Java SE 11, and Java SE 8.






If you’re using Maven, you can install the All Beta Features package using:








<plugin>
    <groupId>io.openliberty.tools</groupId>
    <artifactId>liberty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <runtimeArtifact>
          <groupId>io.openliberty.beta</groupId>
          <artifactId>openliberty-runtime</artifactId>
          <version>RELEASE_VERSION</version>
          <type>zip</type>
        </runtimeArtifact>
    </configuration>
</plugin>








You must also add dependencies to your pom.xml file for the beta version of the APIs that are associated with the beta features that you want to try. For example, the following block adds dependencies for two example beta APIs:








<dependency>
    <groupId>org.example.spec</groupId>
    <artifactId>exampleApi</artifactId>
    <version>7.0</version>
    <type>pom</type>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>example.platform</groupId>
    <artifactId>example.example-api</artifactId>
    <version>11.0.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>








Or for Gradle:








buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'io.openliberty.tools:liberty-gradle-plugin:3.6.2'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'liberty'
dependencies {
    libertyRuntime group: 'io.openliberty.beta', name: 'openliberty-runtime', version: '[RELEASE_VERSION,)'
}








Or if you’re using container images:








FROM icr.io/appcafe/open-liberty:beta








Or take a look at our Downloads page.






If you’re using IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio Code or Eclipse IDE, you can also take advantage of our open source Liberty developer tools to enable effective development, testing, debugging and application management all from within your IDE.






For more information on using a beta release, refer to the Installing Open Liberty beta releases documentation.
