The Vaadin core +library and all Vaadin add-ons are available through Maven. You can use a Maven +with a front-end from Eclipse or NetBeans, or by using the command-line as +described in this section. + +In addition to regular Maven, you can use any Maven-compatible build or +dependency management system, such as Ivy or Gradle. For Gradle, see the +link:https://github.com/johndevs/gradle-vaadin-plugin[Gradle Vaadin Plugin]. +Vaadin Plugin for Eclipse uses Ivy for resolving dependencies in Vaadin +projects, and it should provide you with the basic Ivy configuration. + +[[getting-started.maven.command-line]] +== Working from Command-Line + +You can create a new Maven project with the following command (given in one +line): + +[subs="normal"] +---- +[prompt]#$# [command]#mvn# archetype:generate \ + -DarchetypeGroupId=com.vaadin \ + -DarchetypeArtifactId=[parameter]#vaadin-archetype-application# \ + -DarchetypeVersion=[replaceable]#7.x.x# \ + -DgroupId=[replaceable]#your.company# \ + -DartifactId=[replaceable]#project-name# \ + -Dversion=[replaceable]#0.1# \ + -Dpackaging=war +---- +The parameters are as follows: + +[parameter]#archetypeGroupId#:: The group ID of the archetype is [literal]#++com.vaadin++# for Vaadin +archetypes. + +[parameter]#archetypeArtifactId#:: The archetype ID.

It packages the add-on so that it can be published in Vaadin Directory. The archetype is for server-side add-ons and does not include definitions needed for building a widget set. If your add-on includes or requires other than the widgets in the Vaadin core library, you need to copy the required definitions from a POM of a <literal>vaadin-archetype-clean</literal> project. </listitem> </itemizedlist> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <literal>vaadin-archetype-touchkit</literal> is for projects using Vaadin TouchKit, described in <xref linkend="mobile"/>.

It is normally your organization domain name +in reverse order, such as com.example. The group ID is also used as a prefix for +the Java package in the sources, so it should be Java compatible - only +alphanumerics and an underscore. + +[parameter]#artifactId#:: Identifier of the artifact, that is, your project. The identifier may contain +alphanumerics, minus, and underscore. It is appended to the group ID to obtain +the Java package name for the sources. For example, if the group ID is +com.example and artifact ID is myproject, the project sources would be placed in +com.example.myproject package. + +[parameter]#version#:: Initial version number of your application.
