Create Maven Archetype
- create an empty Maven project
mvn archetype:generate \
-DgroupId=nl.appall.java \
-DartifactId=java \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart \
-DinteractiveMode=false
- modify the pom file with for example to add Junit5 and Java 11.
<properties>
<maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<!-- JUnit Jupiter API for writing tests -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
<version>5.7.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<!-- JUnit Jupiter Engine for running tests -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
<version>5.7.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
- Use the maven-archetype-plugin to create an archetype from your project:
mvn archetype:create-from-project
- Deploy the generated archetype to a repository (local or remote) so it can be reused:
mvn install
- create a Maven Settings file
mkdir -p ~/.m2
echo '<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
<localRepository/>
<interactiveMode/>
<usePluginRegistry/>
<offline/>
<pluginGroups/>
<servers/>
<mirrors/>
<proxies/>
<profiles/>
<activeProfiles/>
</settings>' > ~/.m2/settings.xml
use your archetype to generate a new project like:
mvn archetype:create-from-project
In bashrc
To automate the creation of a new blank project with your custom archetype you can update your bashrc like ~/.zshrc
march() {
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "Error: No project name provided."
echo "Usage: march <projectname>"
return 1
fi
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=nl.appall.java \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=java-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
-DgroupId=nl.appall.newproject \
-DartifactId=$1 \
-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
-DinteractiveMode=false
cd $1
idea .
}
now march yourProject creates the project , gets in the folder and starts intellij.
