Is there any Apache Click maven archtype similar to Wicket's?

Question

Is there any Apache Click maven archetype similar to Wicket's quick start? Similar to http://wicket.apache.org/start/quickstart.html Basically what I need is a way to get started using Apache Click quickly using Maven. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I never tried it myself, but this project provides a maven archetype for click. It doesn't look like they provide it in a public repository, so you will need to check the sources, compile&install it and than you'll be able to use it, e.g.:

$ svn checkout http://construtor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ construtor-read-only
$ cd construtor-read-only/maven-archetype-click/
$ mvn clean install
$ mvn archetype:generate
[...]
387: local -> maven-archetype-click (An archetype which generates a simplifed sample of the Apache Click Framework.)
[...]

For the benefit of future enquirers, there are instructions to achieve this here. However, the remote build did not work for me using Maven 3 nor did the local installation suggested without some modifications. This is what worked for me:

1. Download the archetype jar file

2. Install the archetype in the local maven 3 repo:

   mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.google.constructor.archetypes -DartifactId=maven-archetype-click -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=\maven-archetype-click-1.0.jar

3. Generate skeleton project:

   mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.google.constructor.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-click -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 -DgroupId=com.test -DartifactId=clickprimer -DarchetypeCatalog=local

4. cd clickprimer

5. mvn clean package
6. mvn jetty:run
