BetaCMS Client Archetype 2.1.0.CR2

BetaCMS provides several maven Archetypes which allow users to quickly create, build and run a BetaCMS dependent project. Maven must be installed prior to installing the archetype.

Open up a console, go to your projects directory and type:

You should see the following output:

Confirm properties configuration:
groupId: org.mycompany
artifactId: myBetaCMSProject
version: 1.0
package: org.mycompany
 Y: : 

Type 'Y' to confirm the above settings or 'N' to provide new ones. Once build is finished (ignore any warnings logged), a new directory, named 'myBetaCMSProject' is created. Cd to that directory and type:

mvn clean package

to build project. Note that, in order for the tests inside this project to be successful, BetaCMS server must be running in 'localhost'. It is assumed that at least the basic installation has been completed.

In case you want this project to be available in Eclipse, type:

mvn eclipse:eclipse

Eclipse necessary files willl be created and project is ready to be imported in Eclipse.

This archetype creates a very simple module which connects to the default BetaCMS repository and creates several content objects, topics and taxonomies. It provides code samples demonstrating use of all BetaCMS services.

Code resides in file BetaCMSClientExample.java, which is located under directory /src/test/java. It is actually a TestNG enable java class which is executed automatically during module build and logs out useful information for each of the actions performed.

Please report any problem related to this archetype's installation to JIRA.
