Using a Maven archetype to create the service unit project

ServiceMix provides several Maven archetypes to help you create your projects more rapidly and reliably.
We start off by using the servicemix-cxf-se-service-unit archetype which is used for creating a servicemix-cxf-se service unit project.

From our tutorial's project folder we run the following command to create a service unit project:

...

Maven executes the archetype and reports BUILD SUCCESSFUL when it's done.

...

...

What is being generated?

First of all, the archetype creates the project folder my-cxf-se-su, containing:

• a pom.xml file for building the service unit project
• a directory src/main/resources containing a xbean.xml file for configuring the service unit
• a directory src/main/java containing a com/mycompanyorg/apache/servicemix/examples/ExampleService.java for implementing our service.

Because we started Maven's archetype:create from the folder containing our root pom.xml Maven also added
the module to the root's pom.xml <modules> section.

...

Now, we will have to configure the service unit to provide the services we want.
