To start this tutorial, 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.tutorial</groupId>
<artifactId>parent</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>Tutorial</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:
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.
