How m2eclipse creates a new domain using maven-glassfish-plugin?

Question

version - glassfish v3

I want to try maven-glassfish-plugin, but I don't know how to create a new domain.

Answer 1

You can use the command create-domain. Either skip the options on the command line or follow the interactive steps:

$ asadmin create-domain

But Maven GlassFish Plugin (after properly configured) can also create a domain for the following purpose:

glassfish:create-domainCreate a new Glassfish domain. (Creating an existing domain will delete and recreate it.)
