In the skeleton project, most of the HTML is not found on the pages themselves but in a Layout component which acts as a global template for the whole site. Java classes for components live in src/main/java/com/example/newapp/components and component templates go in src/main/resources/com/example/newapp/components.

The archetype includes a few optional extras:

• The bundled version of the Bootstrap CSS library has a per-project override. You can see the files in src/webapp/context/mybootstrap, and the overrides to enable that in AppModule.java.
• By default, Tapestry users Prototype as its client-side library, the archetype overrides this to jQuery, which is preferred for new projects.
• The archetype adds a simple filter that shows the timing of each request.
• The archetype sets up not just for builds with Maven, but also via Gradle.
