Java Dynamic Web project with Maven and Eclipse

Question

I have several questions about creating a Java Web application with Maven and Eclipse:

• How do I create a Java web project with servlets, jsp, and other classes

Answer 1

• Step 1: create your web app folder.
• Step 2: Move to that folder in command prompt.
• Step 3: use following command:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.helloworld -DartifactId=HelloWorldDemo -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false

DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp will create a maven web project.

• Step 4: Now on command prompt go inside the project folder and use this command: mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0 to make your project a dynamic web project for eclipse, now import this newly created project as an "Ëxisting project"

Use m2eclipse plugin of eclipse to enable MAVEN in eclipe.

Web.xml will be at \src\main\webapp\WEB-INF
