Maven Project Structure
Creating Maven Project
We
will create maven project using two ways:
1) Using command line in CMD (command
prompt) in windows
2) Using eclipse maven plug-in in eclipse
1) Creating
a Maven project using command line
We need following command
mvn
Using mvn command along with other
attributes
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId={ project-packaging } -DartifactId={ project-name }
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false
We will create our maven project using our
own values for attributes DgroupId , DartifactId , DarchetypeArtifactId
mvn archetype:generate
-DgroupId=mavenproject -DartifactId=myproject
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false
Press enter to execute above command
Our maven project has been successfully
created.
Depending on which IDE used for
development, import the project and start working with your project.

eclipse using following steps:
1) Go to File and click on import
