xyz-generator

An updated version of maven-archetype-quickstart.

For interactive mode, just run:

    mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=xyz.luan.generator -DarchetypeArtifactId=xyz-generator -DarchetypeVersion=0.3.0

And fill the information.

If you want batch mode, use this instead, but fill in the gaps:

    mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=xyz.luan.generator -DarchetypeArtifactId=xyz-generator -DarchetypeVersion=0.3.0 -DgroupId=<your.group.id> -DartifactId=<your-atifact-id> -Dversion=<your.version> -DinteractiveMode=false

Are you looking for xyz-gae-generator? If you'd like to create a base GAE project, ready to run, test and deploy, check it out.

Custom Java version

It will by default create a Java 8 project, but now it supports custom java versions, like Java 11.

Just add -Djava-version=11 to your command:

    mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=xyz.luan.generator -DarchetypeArtifactId=xyz-generator -DarchetypeVersion=0.3.0 -Djava-version=11

Why is it better than quickstart?

• It adds UTF-8 encoding and Java 8 support to your pom (zero warnings first build)
• It adds better test libraries (updated JUnit plus AssertJ)
• It adds a gitignore (hurray!)
