Open Liberty 的开发模式是在前台执行还是在后台执行

Question

In Open Liberty server there are several goals to start it like liberty:run , liberty:start and liberty:dev .

In the docs I see that run executes the server in foreground and start in background but I can't find if the development mode dev executes it in foreground or background.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Dev mode runs in the foreground just like liberty:run . The main difference / advantage between the two is the hot reload feature which will pick up source changes in your app and reload the server and tests.
