# A simple Maven Archetype for Java
![Maven Central](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/no.dervis/java-starter?style=flat-square)

Generates a minimal Maven project for Java with

- JDK 23 (or any version you specify, read below)
- JUnit 5.10.x

## How to use

### Selecting Java version
Change the `jdkVersion` property to change the JDK version. Default value is currently `22`.

### Activate/deactivate Java preview features
Change the `javaPreviewFeatures` property to `no` or `n` if you want to disable preview features. Default value is `yes`, which means this archetype will generate a `pom.xml` file that allows you to use the newest preview features of Java.

### Generating a new Java project from CLI
Change the values of `DgroupId`, `-DartifactId` and `-Dversion` to match your own project details. These properties are required. `archetypeGroupId`, `archetypeArtifactId` and `archetypeVersion` must remain as is.

```
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=no.dervis \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=java-starter \
-DarchetypeVersion=1.0.13 \
-DgroupId=org.mygroup \
-DartifactId=demoapp \
-Dversion=1.0.0 \
-DjdkVersion=23 \
-DjavaPreviewFeatures=yes \
-DinteractiveMode=false
```
