Maven Archetype Packaging

This is 'maven-archetype' packaging configuration for archetype projects. It provides maven-archetype-plugin bindings to default lifecycle:

• archetype:jar to package phase,
• archetype:integration-test to integration-test phase,
• archetype:update-local-catalog to install phase.

in addition to classical resource/jar/install/deploy. See Archetype Packaging Reference for details.

Usage

Declaring maven-archetype packaging to your pom is not the only step required:

• to be available from the archetype project, the packaging must be added as an extension,

Typical pom.xml contains:

<project>
  ...
  <packaging>maven-archetype</packaging>
  ...
  <build>
    <extensions>
      <extension>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.archetype</groupId>
        <artifactId>archetype-packaging</artifactId>
        <version>3.4.0</version>
      </extension>
    </extensions>
  </build>
</project>
