How to generate different kinds of application architectures without maintaining redundant archetypes code?

Well, start to define one archetype per application layer and mixe them as you want in a multi-module project. Even more, adjust the taste with your favorite flavors like springbooting, microservices or authentication and you'll get a sophisticated and easy to maintain developer stack.

All of this can be done with simple Maven commands and its Maven archetype plugin and Velocity template engine.

!!! This is (only) a POC demonstrating the feasibility of such solutions not a multi-architecture archetype able to generate all kind of applications... sorry for that !!!

## How to test it?

### 1. Build and install the archetypes

Run the bash script (on Windows, just run the included commands) `mvn-install-local.sh`.

This will build 1 POM (`archetype-bundles`) and 3 Maven Archetypes (`archetype-parent`, `archetype-client`, `archetype-server`) and install them to your local Maven repository (`~/.m2/repository`)

### 2. (Optional) Generate the archetypes' sites documentation

Run the bash script (on Windows, just run the included commands) `mvn-site.sh`.

### 3. Generate your app

Run the bash script `mvn-generate-app.sh` (or the included commands).

This will create a fully functional app composed of the 3 previous built archetypes.

## What does this demonstrate?

1. You can apply different Maven archetypes on the same project (even multi-module ones) runnig the portable command `mvn:generate` several times.

1. Velocity templates lets add customization when executing Maven archetypes.

1. You can split an archetype in multiple parts, each one dedicated to a tier (angular, api, service, dao,...) or a functionality (security, microservice, Springboot, DDD, container,...).

## Disclaimer

1. This is a basic demo yet!

1. More complex cases have to be tested to prove real efficiency in such solution mostly on functionalities!
