All archetypes take the usual artifactId, groupId, version, and package and also module to
use for naming some classes in the generated projects.
To create a project interactively, use:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vertispan.j2cl.archetypes \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=<archetype-name> \
-DarchetypeVersion=0.22.0
To specify these four variables, add them as system properties:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vertispan.j2cl.archetypes \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=<archetype-name> \
-DarchetypeVersion=0.22.0 \
-DgroupId=my.project.group.id \
-DartifactId=myapp \
-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
-Dmodule=MyApp
Tip: if you don't have a pre-installed j2cl-maven-plugin, you can install it manually, taking care
to replace <archetype-name> with the name of the archetype:
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:get \
-DrepoUrl=https://repo.vertispan.com/j2cl/ \
-Dartifact=com.vertispan.j2cl.archetypes:<archetype-name>:0.22.0
This project is a simple html page, with a css file, and a single Java class. It is not a good example of how to set up a client/server project, but serves only to show how to make very simple standalone samples.
Creates two Java modules, one for the server, and one for the client. The server module uses Jakarta servlets to host some http static content and offer some services, and the client module provides a simple J2cl-based browser application that is served from, and connects to that server for more content. The parent pom is configured to make it easy to add either shared or client-only modules to the project, and still get a good debugging experience from the browser.
