What is the practical difference between atlas-run and atlas-run-standalone in the Atlassian SDK?

The Atlassian plugin SDK is used to create plugins for Atlassian products.

The kit includes two programs, atlas-run and atlas-run-standalone that appear to perform the same task: run some plugins (including yours) within an instance of one of the products.

What is the difference between them?

Solution

  • Found it.

    Per this, atlas-run-standalone

    Runs an Atlassian application standalone, without a plugin project (that is, not requiring atlas-create--plugin).

    ...while atlas-run says

    Runs the application with your plugin installed. (Runs mvn amps:run.)

    which presumably requires a local plugin project.
