Maven2 Archetype for Stripes

Prerequisites

  • Maven2 must already be installed
  • Basic knowledge of maven

Create Project

The following command uses the download URL of the archtype (minus the file name) as a repository to create a stripes project

mvn archetype:create \ 
-DarchetypeArtifactId=stripes-archetype-quickstart \ 
-DarchetypeGroupId=net.sourceforge \ 
-DarchetypeVersion=1.0 \ 
-DgroupId=myGroup \ 
-DartifactId=stripesTest \ 
-DarchetypeRepository=http://sourceforge.net/projects/mvnstripes/files/stripes-quickstart-1.0/1.0 

<<Thanks goes to Randy Jones and Rusty Wright for their corrections...>>

During the execution of the create command maven will ask you to specify the project information. For the purpose of this guide an artifactId of "stripesTest" has been used as the name for our new project.

Run the Application

From your project directory (the artifactId "stripesTest") execute the following command:

mvn jetty:run 

After jetty starts, navigate to "http://localhost:8080/stripesTest/"

If you did everything correctly, you will see the following: 

Congratulations, you've set up a Stripes project!

You are running Java version <your java version> on the <your operating system> operating system

If you see that page... Congratulations! You can start programing with Stripes
