Getting started with Tapestry is easy, and you have lots of ways to begin: watch a video, browse the source code of a working demo app, create a skeleton app using Maven, or step through the tutorial.
...
You can also play with Tapestry via our live demonstration applications. To start, have a look at the Hotel Booking Demo. The source code is provided so you can download and play with it. Also check out the Jumpstart demonstration site.

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://tapestryDfilter=org.apache.orgtapestry:quickstart |
(Alternatively, if you want to get an archetype for a not-yet-released version of Tapestry – most users don't – you can use the staging URI, https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/staging
).
Maven will prompt you for the archetype to create ("Tapestry 5 Quickstart Project") and the exact version number (e.g., "5.45.30"). It also asks you for a group id, an artifact id, and a version number. You can see this in the following transcript:

- 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, but 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.
