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. #905 #907 #908 #914 #915
• Added configuration parameter changeOnDemantTestsAction 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. #890 #897 #901
• Added support for Spring Boot Gradle plugin using plugins DSL (external contribution) #893 #909
