The runtime assembly plugin is used to provision a runtime image as part of an automated, reproducible Maven build process. The plugin downloads and provisions the Fabric3 standalone runtime and extensions along with application contributions. In addition, it can apply custom configuration to the runtime image.
The excerpt shows the basic plugin setup in a Maven POM file:
