There are four Maven archetypes available to quickly get you started developing a portlet application.
The mvcbean-jsp-portlet-archetype can be used to create an MVCBean portlet project that utilizes features from MVC 1.0, Bean Validation 2.0, Portlet 3.0, and @Inject via CDI. HTML views are processed by Pluto's JavaServer™ Pages (JSP) view engine.
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.portals.pluto.archetype \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=mvcbean-jsp-portlet-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=3.1.1 \
-DgroupId=com.mycompany \
-DartifactId=com.mycompany.my.mvcbean.jsp.portlet
The mvcbean-thymeleaf-portlet-archetype can be used to create an MVCBean portlet project that utilizes features from MVC 1.0, Bean Validation 2.0, Portlet 3.0, and @Inject CDI. HTML views are processed by Pluto's Thymeleaf view engine.
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.portals.pluto.archetype \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=mvcbean-thymeleaf-portlet-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=3.1.1 \
-DgroupId=com.mycompany \
-DartifactId=com.mycompany.my.mvcbean.thymeleaf.portlet
The bean-portlet-archetype can be used to create a "bean portlet" that utilizes Portlet 3.0 features such as dependency injection with @Inject via CDI.
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.portals.pluto.archetype \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=bean-portlet-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=3.1.1 \
-DgroupId=com.mycompany \
-DartifactId=com.mycompany.my.bean.portlet
The generic-portlet-archetype can be used to create a traditional portlet project which has a class that extends GenericPortlet.
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.portals.pluto.archetype \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=generic-portlet-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=3.1.1 \
-DgroupId=com.mycompany \
-DartifactId=com.mycompany.my.generic.portlet
Archetypes are available in Maven Central here.
