Once you have Maven installed, execute the following command:

Code Blocknoformat
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://tapestry.apache.org

Maven will prompt you for the archetype to create ("Tapestry 5 Quickstart Project") and the exact version number ("5.3.7", at the time of writing). It also asks you for a group id, an artifact id, and a version number. You can see this in the following transcript:

To run the skeleton application, change to the newapp directory and execute:

mvn jetty:run

After some more one-time downloads you can open your browser to http://localhost:8080/newapp to see the application running:

The application consists of three pages sharing a common look and feel. The initial page, Index, allows you to perform some basic operations.

The archetype creates the following files:

A Tapestry application is composed of pages, each page consisting of one template file and one Java class.

Tapestry page templates have the .tml extension and are found in src/main/resources/com/example/newapp/pages

...

 (that is, in the

...

com.example.newapp.pages

...

 package).

...

 Templates are essentially HTML with some special markup to reference properties in the corresponding Java class and to reference ready-made or custom components.

Tapestry page classes are found in src/main/java/com/example/newapp/pages and their name matches their template name (Index.tml -> Index.java).
