Liberty Maven Plug-in 3.11.0

Version 3.11.0 of the Liberty Maven Plugin is a minor release that adds new functionality and provides some fixes.

New functionality

• Added support for using versionless features in server configuration files. The versionless feature support was first made available in Open Liberty 24.0.0.8, but required some fixes that went into 24.0.0.9 and 24.0.0.10. Therefore, the plugin requires using the 24.0.0.10 or newer runtime when using versionless features. See this Open Liberty blog and this documentation for more information. Note that the plugin does not support specifying the platform versions using an environment variable described in this documentation. #1827 #1831 #1832 #1829 #1836 #1837
• Added configuration parameter changeOnDemandTestsAction to change the action for running on demand tests from Enter to type t and press Enter during dev mode. This is provided to make it easier to avoid accidentally invoking tests when the cursor focus is not obvious and Enter is pressed. #1822

Additional Fixes

The following fixes are also included in this release.

• Update public key and signature for verify test #1821
• Update commons-io version to 2.14.0 #1835
