##maven-archetype-quickweb

Maven archetype to create a new project with a layout that is essentially a combination of what you get with the standard maven archetypes of quickstart and webapp. More specifically, this archetype creates a project with the following layout:

my-app
|-- pom.xml
|-- src
|   -- main
|      -- resources
|      -- java
|         -- com
|            -- yourcompany
|               -- App.java
|   -- test
|      -- resources
|      -- java
|         -- com
|            -- yourcompany
|               -- AppTest.java
|   -- webapp
|      -- index.jsp
|      -- WEB-INF
|         -- web.xml

To use:

####1. Clone from git

$ git clone git://github.com/sabram/maven-archetype-quickweb.git

####2. Install to your local repo

$ mvn install archetype:update-local-catalog

Notes:

• Do this from the maven-archetype-quickweb directory
• You should now see the project in your local maven repo. For example:
  • Mac: ~/.m2/repository/com/shaunabram/maven-archetype-quickweb`
  • Windows: ${user.home}.m2\repository\com\shaunabram\maven-archetype-quickweb`

####3. Run to generate your own project:

$ mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeGroupId=com.shaunabram
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickweb
-DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
-DgroupId=<my.groupid>
-DartifactId=<my-artifactId>

Replacing <my.groupid> and <my-artifactId> as appropriate.

You may also append -DinteractiveMode=false to accept defaults.

For example:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.shaunabram -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickweb -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=com.yourcompany -DartifactId=yourProjectName -DinteractiveMode=false
