How do I specify a Wildfly server version when using wildfly-maven-plugin?

Question

When I start my webapp using the wildfly-maven-plugin ( mvn wildfly:run ), it starts with Wildfly 10. I need to test it with Wilfly 8.1.

Is there some parameter for chosing the Wildfly server version?

This is the piece of pom.xml I used to enable wildfly:run :

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.2.Final</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

There are several options:

1. Configure user property in pom.xml :

    <properties> <wildfly.version>8.1.0.Final</wildfly.version> </properties> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0.2.Final</version> </plugin> </plugins> </build> 

2. Set required version in plugin configuration section:

    <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0.2.Final</version> <configuration> <version>8.1.0.Final</version> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> 

3. Pass required version using command-line argument:

    mvn wildfly:run -Dwildfly.version=8.1.0.Final 

See plugin documentation for details.
