This Maven archetype allows a KijiExpress user to create a basic KijiExpress project, including some basic dependencies and files, with only a few commands. Learn more about Maven archetypes here.
Check out the KijiExpress project, then compile and install the archetype:
cd kiji-express-archetype
mvn clean install
This adds the Express archetype to your local archetype catalog.
To create a basic project, create a new directory in which to generate the archetype. cd into
that directory and run
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local
You'll see output listing all local archetypes - enter the number corresponding to local -> org.kiji-express:kiji-express-archetype (kiji-express-archetype).
Follow the prompts to enter a groupId, artifactId, version number, and package.
Your basic project will now be ready to be edited, packaged, and used.
