[Last Updated: Mar 14, 2017]

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to create Web Application from command line. We are going to use Maven Archtype plugin maven-archetype-webapp

The general syntax to achieve that is:

   mvn archetype:generate
  -DgroupId=[project-group-id]
  -DartifactId=[artifact-id]
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
  -DinteractiveMode=false

  1. Open cmd.exe window and go to the location you want to create the project
  2. Run the commandObject:
        mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.logicbig  -DartifactId=my-first-webapp
            -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false
        
  3. That's it, import the new web based project to your IDE and start developing your project.
