GWT-Maven Archetype Information

The GWT-Maven Archetype - maven-googlewebtoolkit2-archetype, creates a bare bones GWT app with all the GWT-Maven setup and structure in place (a template).

One shot - create a project NOW using the remote repository

 mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=com.totsp.gwt \
    -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-googlewebtoolkit2-archetype \
    -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.4 \
    -DremoteRepositories=http://gwt-maven.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mavenrepo \
    -DgroupId=myGroupId \
    -DartifactId=myArtifactId

Installing the Archetype locally

Download the maven-googlewebtoolkit2-archetype-1.0.4.jar file from:

http://gwt-maven.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mavenrepo/com/totsp/gwt/maven-googlewebtoolkit2-archetype/1.0.4/

Then install it into your local repository: 

 mvn install:install-file \
   -DgroupId=com.totsp.gwt \
   -DartifactId=maven-googlewebtoolkit2-archetype \
   -Dversion=1.0.4 \
   -Dpackaging=jar 
   -Dfile=PATH_TO_JAR_YOU_DOWNLOADED/maven-googlewebtoolkit2-archetype-1.0.4.jar

Using the Archetype (if it's already installed locally)

Once you have access to the archetype, you use it as you would any other Maven archetype to create a template/stub project. 

 mvn archetype:create \
   -DarchetypeGroupId=com.totsp.gwt \
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-googlewebtoolkit2-archetype \
   -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.4 \
   -DgroupId=myGroupId \
   -DartifactId=myArtifactId
