Description

This is a maven archetype which generates a Jakarta EE web application skeleton. All variants will generate a web.xml and beans.xml. The variants jakartaee and jakartaee-web create a persistence.xml additionally.

Usage

Note: Currently this archetype is not available in maven central. So first thing do is install it:

mvn install

Afterwards you should be able to create a new project:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=it.impl -DarchetypeArtifactId=jakartaee-war-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Parameters

The archetype can be configured via several system properties:

Property Name	Default Value	Allowed Values
javaVersion	17	1.8, 11, 17
jakartaEEVersion	10.0.0	8.0.0, 9.0.0, 9.0.1, 10.0.0
jakartaEEVariant	jakartaee	jakartaee, jakartaee-web, jakartaee-core
