Open Liberty automated MVT

[tevans78]

Description of the high level feature, including any external spec links:

The Open Liberty build creates a number of images;

• kernel - kernel only
• runtime - all GA features
• webProfile8 - JEE8 Web Profile GA features
• jakartaee8 - JEE8 Full Profile GA features
• microProfile4 - MicroProfile 4 GA features
• microProfile5 - MicroProfile 5 GA features
• all beta - all GA + beta features
• jakartaee9 - JEE9 beta features
• microProfile6 or 7 -MicroProfile 6 or 7 GA features (added 19-Jan-2023)
• jakartaee10 - JEE10 beta features (added 19-Jan-2023)
• webProfile10 JEE10 Web Profile GA features (added 19-Jan-2023)

We need some automated tests to

• Validate that the image contains the correct features (nothing missing, nothing extra)
• Check that a server starts using the default server.xml for each image.

Note that it may be appropriate to migrate the WebSphere Liberty MVT mechanism to Open Liberty.

Implementation plan and test prioritization:

(1) Initial port; extract/create/run (#20215) -- open-liberty/dev/build.image/build/libs/distributions/.zip (2) verify profile features (#20216) -- open-liberty/dev/build.image/profiles/ (3) feature install from kernel (#20217) -- TBD (4) Explicit script verification (#20661) -- requested per Adam Yoho. (5) MVT: File permission verification #29865

paused for now, removing in progress. @tbitonti will add back when work resumes.

[tevans78]

Note that I will shortly be creating new OL zips for microProfile6, webProfile10 and jakartaee10.

[malincoln]

Per @hlhoots waiting on feedback from CI/CD team to progress.

[tevans78]

@hlhoots @tbitonti @malincoln Any updates on this feature?

[hlhoots]

@tevans78 I think the next step is a meeting with @wraschke to move forward with the creating of a build definition for this MVT code to run. Will setup a meeting.

[hlhoots]

I think it should be paused for the time being. Its been sitting for over a year and a half. We need to get it prioritized on the build/infra team to create a build definition for it to move it forward.
