Archetype creation（maven创建模板）

Archetype creation

Creating an archetype from an existing project involves three steps:

• the archetype resolution
• the archetype installation:deployment
• the archetype usage

Usage
Calling mvn archetype:create-from-project the plugin first resolves the package by guessing the project directory.

It then generates the directory tree of the archetype in the target/generated-sources/archetype directory.

mvn archetype:create-from-project

Then move to that generated directory and call mvn install on the created archetype.

$ cd target/generated-sources/archetype/
$ mvn install

Finally move to a fresh directory and use your archetype.

$ mkdir /tmp/archetype
$ cd /tmp/archetype
$ mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local

Choose archetype:
1: local -> project (project)
Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive contains): 1:
Configuration
The create-from-project goal enable the user to provide some sensible configuration using the system properties or a property file.

The system properties permits the user to define the groupId, artifactId, version of the created archetype. They also permits to override the resolved package and to create a partial archetype.

When used, the property file takes precedence over the system properties. It is also the only way to define additional properties in the archetype.

创建很简单，但是只是在本地使用。并且在使用的时候还是出了一些问题，source folder missing了。注意需要先将本地的catalog加入到eclipse并且选择的时候选择全部catalog，包括snapshot，这时候才能选择自定义的webapp
