Maven Example Hello World

Here we are creating simple Maven Example Hello World using command prompt by executing the archetype:generate command of mvn tool.First of all going to any directory of computer machine and open command prompt. Here I am using git bash as command prompt. For creating a simple hello java project using maven, we have to open command prompt and run the archetype:generate command of mvn tool.

The command as following we have used to create project-

Command-

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=groupid -DartifactId=artifactid   
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=booleanValue  

Creating Java Hello World Maven Project

Above is the syntax for creating java project so let see below for actually create command.

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.dineshonjava -DartifactId=JavaHelloWorld -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

After running this command following is output:

Now it will generate following code in the command prompt:

$ mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.dineshonjava -DartifactId=JavaHelloWorld -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
