apigee-config-maven-plugin - edge.json file

[ostranme]

After looking into the config-maven-plugin - the documentation keeps referring to edge.json file but I'm confused as to how this file gets generated. Is the file manually created/updated? The README is unclear on the management of this file that the plugin relies on in order to deploy edge configs.

My question is really just trying to understand if this plugin generate the edge.json file  (if so how?) or is that something that is manually created and maintained by the developer? Any guidance would be appreciated thanks!

Hi, @ostranme 
I'm using this great plugin & I initially took edge.json file from the same repository & adjusted it for my needs. As far as I see, this file is to be created manually, the plugin does not generate it.

Hey @optimism  - thanks for the clarification. There mainly was just confusion on my end on how to get started which requires a little manual effort to make sure that edge.json is formatted and has everything you need for deployment.

Thanks again for your confirmation.

Thanks!
