On this page, we are going to create a Maven project which will contain our SU and SA projects .
Creating the Maven project
We start by creating an empty directory to hold the project. Next, create a pom.xml file in it that contains the common definitions for the entire project. For now, just create a pom.xml that looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>org.apache.servicemix</groupId> <artifactId>myExamples</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <name>ServiceMix :: CXF WSDL example</name> <url>http://servicemix.org</url> </project>
Checking the pom.xml
The easiest way to check the pom.xml, is by running Maven from the project directory:
mvn install
If the pom.xml is valid, Maven will copy it to your local repository and report a succesfull build.
Next, we are going to create our first SU in this project.
