Creating a new project in Eclipse using Maven as build tool for Google App Engine project


I'm creating GAE projects and I would like to use Maven as build tool. I have found project http://www.kindleit.net/maven_gae_plugin/ that provides ability to use GAE with Maven, but I didn't understand how I can create a new project with this configuration?


Solution

  • First of all you have to have m2eclipse plugin installed to effectively use Maven in Eclipse. Once you have it:

    • Create a new Maven project with File->New->Project...
    • Make sure "Create simple project.." checkbox is not checked
    • Select appropriate archetype from kindleit

    enter image description here

    • Give your project an id and a group

    After that it will be generated with proper structure and dependecies
