When we are creating a new web application project it is mandatory that we follow some guidelines to the project structure. Maven archetype generation flow simplifies this by providing a command line interface to generate a project structure that can be imported by Eclipse.
Commands to execute the project generation workflow
#Step 1.
Go through the command line workflow to create an archetype-webapp project with filter id 362
> mvn archetype:generate
Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive contains): 359: 362
Choose a number: 5: 5
Define value for property ‘groupId’: : MYTrialProject
Define value for property ‘artifactId’: : MYTrialProject
Define value for property ‘version’: 1.0-SNAPSHOT: :
Define value for property ‘package’: CTFWeb: : com.test.mytrial
Confirm properties configuration: Yes
#Step 2 : Create the relevant folder structure within the src folder of project by going to windows explorer or the relevant CLI
#Step 3: Eclipse IDE import
