Maven archetypes

emf-archetypes

This project contains Maven archetypes for modular EMF (EMF-GWT) projects.

How to use

Generate a project

mvn archetype:generate \
   -DarchetypeGroupId=org.eclipselabs \
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=<artifactId> \
   -DarchetypeVersion=0.2.1

where the available <artifactIds> are:

• emf-gwt-jersey
• emf-gwt-rpc

Use SuperDevMode

Change directory to your generated project and issue the following commands:

1. mvn clean install -Dgwt.draftCompile
2. In one terminal window: cd *client && mvn gwt:run-codeserver -Ddev
3. In another terminal window: mvn tomcat7:run -Ddev

The same is available with tomcat6 instead of tomcat7.

Or if you'd rather use Jetty than Tomcat, use cd *server && mvn jetty:start -Ddev instead of mvn tomcat7:run.

Note that you only need to install once so that gwt:run-codeserver and jetty:start can find the other modules. This is currently needed because neither gwt:run nor jetty:start support running in reactor builds, contrary to tomcat7:run.

The -Dgwt.draftCompile in the first step is not required, it's only to speed up the GWT compilation by disabling optimizations.
