I am following the instructions very carefully from what seems to be the latest (chronologically) article on Lift Eclipse setup http://www.assembla.com/spaces/liftweb/wiki/Using_Eclipse_with_Maven
The instructions mention
"...many net.liftweb entries in the list of artifacts..."
But I'm probably missing something, as both in eclipse (after the Catalog is refreshed) and in the catalog file at https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/scala-tools/archetype-catalog.xml there seems to be no Lift Maven Archetypes (searching for "lift" renders no results)
Was this modified? is there an example eclipse project out there with a good Lift setup? Maven or not Maven, I just want to use an IDE (any IDE for that matter) that has a working process for Lift development (e.g. not needing to build and deploy a war every change, allow on the fly updates, just like a regular WTP project)
Yes, good point, that list of archetypes is either outdated or doesn't list liftweb projects.
In any case, with m2eclipse you have access to the Nexus Indexer catalog (don't you?) which lists the liftweb archetypes.
Otherwise from the command line:
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype-basic_2.9.1 \
-DarchetypeVersion=2.4-M4 \
-DarchetypeRepository=http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases \
-DremoteRepositories=http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases \
-DgroupId=com.your.group \
-DartifactId=yourartifact \
-Dversion=0.0.1
