THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!

The easiest way to get started is to use Apache Maven to create your initial project; Maven can use an archetype (a kind of project template) to create a bare-bones Tapestry application for you.
One you have Maven installed, execute the command mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://tapestry.apache.org. Maven will (after performing a large number of one-time downloads) ask you questions about how to create the new project, including a group id (like a package name) and an artifact id for your new project.

| Warning |
|---|
The exact content and layout of project generated from the archetype will change across different releases of Tapestry. |
See the Getting Started page for more details.
Even without Maven, Tapestry is quite easy to set up. You just need to download the binaries and setup your build to place them inside your WAR's WEB-INF/lib folder. The rest is just some one-time configuration of the web.xml deployment descriptorOnce it is created, you can load it into any IDE and start coding, or use mvn jetty:run
| Footnote |
|---|
Jetty is a well-known, open-source, high-performance servlet container. Jetty starts up quickly, and implements the official Servlet specification very closely. |
Why does Tapestry use Prototype? Why not insert favorite JavaScript library here?
