This repository contains custom Maven archetypes to create new JSP or JSF JSR286 portlets in IDEs, like Visual Studio Code or Eclipse more easily, by using the Maven Build Lifecycle. The repository is available under the Apache License V2.0.
A Maven Archetype is a Maven project templating toolkit. An archetype is defined as an original pattern or model from which all other things of the same kind are made. Archetype will help authors create Maven project templates for users, and provides users with the means to generate parameterized versions of those project templates. For details, please check: Introduction to Archetypes. Using archetypes provides a great way to enable developers work quickly in a way consistent with best practices employed by your project or organization.
Maven Archetypes can be easily used within IDEs like Visual Studio Code, Eclipse or IBM Rational Application Developer to build up portlet sceletons and their Build Lifecycles (clean, validate, compile, test, package, verify, install etc.) very quickly.
