使用Maven模板生成一个项目

Maven带有超过40+个Maven模板，让开发者快速开始一个新的Java项目。这一章，演示怎样使用Maven的命令“mvn archetype:generate”生成一个新的Java Web项目。

下面是使用Maven模板生成项目的步骤。

1、mvn archetype:generate命令

定位到要生成的项目的目录下，如“D:\workspace\maven-test”。在命令行窗口，执行“mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=internal”命令以生成一个新的项目。Maven将列出已经存在的40+Maven模板项目供我们选择。在这个例子中，选择19以创建一个简单的Java web应用程序项目模板(这里使用的是Maven 3.03版本,Maven 2可能有所不同)：

Choose a number: 16:
选择19，Maven会自动下载所需的依赖库文件，这可能会耗费一些时间。

2、项目详细信息

接下来，会让填写项目的详细信息：

填写项目详细信息
Define value for property 'groupId': : com.xuejava
Define value for property 'artifactId': : com.xuejavaweb
Define value for property 'version':  1.0-SNAPSHOT: : 1.0
Define value for property 'package':  com.xuejava: :
完整的过程如下：

创建结束，会生成如下的文件和目录结构：



3、pom.xml

在Maven中，pom.xml文件是项目配置的核心，它包含构建项目所需的主要信息。在上面的示例中，自动生成了pom.xml文件，其中的标签“packaging”为“war”—注意这里不是“jar”。当使用Maven构建项目时，该项目将自动打成war包用来部署。

pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>com.xuejava</groupId>
  <artifactId>com.xuejavaweb</artifactId>
  <packaging>war</packaging>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <name>com.xuejavaweb Maven Webapp</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  <build>
      <finalName>com.xuejavaweb</finalName>
  </build>
</project>
在Maven，完成所有这一切，只需要一个命令，就可以创建标准目录结构，马上开始开发工作。
