Once the archetype is installed you can now generate a schema project with it. Let's presume we want to generate a schema project where our schema is in a package called com.acme and the generated artifact's id is foo-schema.

Here's how to get Maven to generate your foo-schema project for the com.acme package and groupId:

To make this command working, you must be in another directory than the schema-archetype directory. For instance, after the first command (mvn install), just cd to the parent directory : |

From the onset we included an example schema called car.schema which has a few attributeTypes defined and a car objectClass. It's there as a placeholder. Before we go into how to customize this stuff let's look at the tree of the new project:
