Maven is a good project management tool that greatly reduces the amount of time we spend creating Java projects with a proper structure. With so many predefined Maven archetypes, it is even easier to create projects by simply selecting the archetype based on the technologies we need and the type (jar/war/ear) of project we want to create.
However, sometimes those predefined archetypes’ structures may not suit our needs well, or we may need some more additions to the pre-configured dependencies/frameworks, etc.

Test

A developer shares nine custom Maven archetypes for common Spring-based project setups, covering combinations like SpringMVC with JPA2/Hibernate, MyBatis, Apache Tiles, SiteMesh, Spring Security, JSF2/PrimeFaces, and more. All archetypes are available on GitHub with installation instructions, and additional templates for Spring RESTful Services, Apache CXF, and Spring Integration are planned.
