A plugin group is basically a set of plugins for users to easily understand and consume.

Customizing server assemblies will be easier and a plugin group can be managed as a regular plugin by using deploy command. There are over 11 pre-defined groups for different distribution with Web Contaniner such as Tomcat and Jetty. We take Tomcat as an example here and introduce each plugins group and what plugins are included:
