Creating New Java EE 8 Project

In this post I’ll show you how to create a new Java EE 8 project using an archetype created by me. This archetype is on Maven Central and is an archetype to create a WAR project with the following classes and dependencies.

Dependencies:

• Java EE 8.0
• JUnit 3.8.1
• log4j-core 2.11.1

Classes:

• JobBusiness: An example of Business Object that contains the business logic of Job.
• Dao: An example of abstract DAO class.
• JobDao: An example of DAO to Job using JPA.
• Entity: An example of abstract entity.
• Job: An example of entity to mapping Job with JPA
• JobResource: An example of JAX-RS Resource.

To use this archetype run the following maven command:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=net.rhuanrocha -DarchetypeArtifactId=javaee8-war-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.2 -DgroupId=<new project Group Id> -DartifactId=<new project artifact Id>

After running this command, the project will be created on your current folder.
