h2. How to create a Geasy-\* project ?

There are two ways for creating a Geasy-\* project.


h3. Creating the project by your own

# Create your usual Java project structure
# Create a pom.xml file for maven configuration in the project root
# In the previous file add:
{code}
<parent>
        <groupId>com.ebmwebsourcing.experimental</groupId>
        <artifactId>geasy-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>   
</parent>
{code}

h3. Generating the project using archetypes

# Go in a new folder to generate a new project by calling maven archetype plugin as following:{code}
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://maven.petalslink.com/public-snapshot/com/ebmwebsourcing/experimental/geasyarchetypes/archetype-catalog/1.0-SNAPSHOT/archetype-catalog-1.0-SNAPSHOT.xml -DarchetypeRepository=http://maven.petalslink.com/public-snapshot
{code}
# Maven will prompt the type of project you would like to create: select the "_geasy-project-sample-archetype_" (by entering the number associated to the project type), than follow maven instructions to generate your new project skeleton
# Once the generation is complete go in the folder that should have the name of the 'groupId' you mentioned previously in your configuration and execute
