# Maven Build Java Project Maven uses the **archetype** plugin to create projects. To create a simple Java application, we will use the **maven-archetype-quickstart** plugin. In the following example, we will create a Maven-based Java application project in the C:MVN folder. The command format is as follows: mvn archetype:generate "-DgroupId=com.companyname.bank" "-DartifactId=consumerBanking" "-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart" "-DinteractiveMode=false" Parameter Description: * **-DgroupId**: Organization name, reverse of company website URL + project name * **-DartifactId**: Project name - module name * **-DarchetypeArtifactId**: Specifies the ArchetypeId, maven-archetype-quickstart, to create a simple Java application * **-DinteractiveMode**: Whether to use interactive mode The generated folder structure is as follows: !(#) Description of each folder: | Folder Structure | Description | | --- | --- | | consumerBanking | Contains the src folder and pom.xml | | src/main/java contains | Java code files are under the package structure (com/companyName/bank). | | src/main/java test | Test code files are under the package structure (com/companyName/bank). | | src/main/resources | Contains images / property files (in the example above, we need to create this structure manually). | In the **C:MVNconsumerBankingsrcmainjavacomcompanynamebank** folder, you can see an App.java file with the following code: ## App.java package com.companyname.bank; /** * Hello world! * */public class App{public static void main(String[]args){System.out.println("Hello World!"); }} Open the **C:MVNconsumerBankingsrctestjavacomcompanynamebank** folder to see the Java test file AppTest.java. ## AppTest.java package com.companyname.bank; import junit.framework.Test; import junit.framework.TestCase; import junit.framework.TestSuite; /** * Unit test for simple App. */public class AppTest extends TestCase{/** * Create the test case * * @param testName name of the test case */public AppTest(String testName){super(testName); }/** * @return the suite of tests being tested */public static Test suite(){return new TestSuite(AppTest.class); }/** * Rigourous Test :-) */public void testApp(){assertTrue(true); }} In the subsequent development process, we only need to place files according to the structure mentioned in the table above, and Maven will handle the rest.
