Maven Archetype Click Setup

This archetype allows you to generate a template for a web application that uses Apache Click, based on the sample web application.

Create a project using the remote repository

 mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=com.google.constructor.archetypes \
    -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-click \
    -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 \
    -DremoteRepositories=https://construtor.googlecode.com/svn/maven2/ \
    -DgroupId=myGroupId \
    -DartifactId=myArtifactId    

Installing the Archetype locally

Download the maven-archetype-click-1.0.jar file.

Then install it into your local repository:

 mvn install:install-file \
   -DarchetypeGroupId=com.google.constructor.archetypes \
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-click \
   -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 \
   -Dpackaging=jar 
   -Dfile=PATH_TO_JAR_YOU_DOWNLOADED/maven-archetype-click-1.0.jar

Getting and building the archetype locally

Download the Maven Archetype Click source: svn checkout http://construtor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/maven-archetype-click mac

Navigate to the root folder and install the archetype locally with the following command:

mvn install
cd mac
mvn install

Using the Archetype (if it's already installed locally)

Once you have access to the archetype, you use it as you would any other Maven archetype to create a template/stub project.

mvn archetype:generate \
   -DarchetypeGroupId=com.google.constructor.archetypes \
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-click \
   -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 \
   -DgroupId=com.mycompany \
   -DartifactId=myArtifactId \
   -DarchetypeCatalog=local

Running the sample webapp

After that you can move to the new project(starweb), test or run it:

cd starweb/
mvn jetty:run

To try the sample webapp out, point your browser to http://localhost:8080.

or

mvn test
