Chapter 1. How the Fabric8 Launcher tool works

The Fabric8 Launcher tool runs on OpenShift and lets you create functional example applications called missions. The Fabric8 Launcher tool walks you through:

  • choosing the mission you want to generate,
  • choosing the runtime you want to use, and
  • choosing how you want to build and execute the mission.

The Fabric8 Launcher tool uses your choices to generate a custom project, called a booster, and either launches it directly to the same OpenShift instance, or provides a downloadable ZIP version of the project.
