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-service-unit archetype, which is used for creating a service unit project. The groupId for this archetype is org.apache.servicemix.tooling.

From our tutorial project directory, where we already have the parent pom.xml, we run this command to create a service unit project named tutorial-file-su:

mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeArtifactId=servicemix-service-unit -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.servicemix.tooling -DartifactId=tutorial-file-su

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

What is being generated?

First of all, the archetype creates the project directory, containing:

Because we started Maven's archetype:create from the directory containing our parent pom.xml, Maven has also:

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