Re: inheriting from plugins (Answer to archetype question)

[John Tolentino <jo...@mergere.com>]

Hi,

Archetypes are templates for projects that are often used. Standard 
Maven 2 directory structure; common files and folders; and some 
resources will be created for you. An example is the 
maven-archetype-webapp which can be used to create a "skeleton" project 
for a web application. It will create your starting pom, the WEB-INF 
folder, a deployment descriptor and some sample JSPs which you could 
edit later. Here's a full description of archetypes for your reference: 
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-archetypes.html

By the way, it would be nice if you changed the subject of the email you 
replied to because your question was not related. :-) Hope this helps.

Regards,
John
