Liberty Tools are intuitive developer tools for the Eclipse IDE, Visual Studio Code, and IntelliJ IDEA development environments. These tools enable fast iterative development with Liberty dev mode and Maven or Gradle.

Liberty Tools automatically detect any projects that specify the Liberty Maven plug-in or the Liberty Gradle plug-in in the project `pom.xl` or `build.gradle` file. These projects are added to a special Liberty dashboard view in Eclipse IDE or Visual Studio Code, or to the Liberty tool window in IntelliJ IDEA. From there, you can access a command menu to manage your projects.

These projects are added to a special Liberty dashboard view in Eclipse IDE or Visual Studio Code, or to the Liberty tool window in IntelliJ IDEA. From there, you can access a command menu to manage your projects.

Liberty Tools also provide helpful language-support features such as code completion, hover descriptions, and configuration diagnostics for MicroProfile API, Jakarta EE API, and Liberty configuration and Java files.

== Minimum requirements

Liberty Tools are currently available as an early release on all supported environments.

To use Liberty Tools with dev mode, your project must specify the https://github.com/OpenLiberty/ci.maven[Liberty Maven plug-in] or the https://github.com/OpenLiberty/ci.gradle[Liberty Gradle plug-in] in the project `pom.xl` or `build.gradle` file. A minimum level of `3.7.1` for the Liberty Maven plug-in or `3.5.1` for the Liberty Gradle plug-in is recommended.

Language support features are available for MicroProfile 3.0 and 4.0 APIs, Jakarta EE 9.x APIs, and select Liberty configuration and Java files.

== Develop, test, and debug in your editor

Use Liberty Tools to stop, start, or interact with xref:development-mode.adoc[Liberty dev mode] from the Liberty dashboard in Eclipse IDE or Visual Studio Code or the Liberty tool window in IntelliJ IDEA. Liberty dev mode automatically detects, recompiles, and deploys code changes whenever you save a new change. It also runs unit and integration tests on demand and can attach a debugger to the running server to step through your code at any time.
Liberty Tools bring these dev mode features directly into the command menu for the Liberty projects in your editor. With a just few clicks, you can start and stop your Liberty application, run tests, and view test reports.
