Maven archetype for creating Avro service projects
---------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-890
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-890
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.5.4
Reporter: Stephen Gargan
Assignee: Stephen Gargan
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.6.0
I've put together the beginnings of an maven archetypes subproject in the java
module to help folks kickstart avro projects. The first archetype creates a
simple avro based ordering service using the netty transport and includes an
integration test for the service. The service is very naive, though its really
only the plumbing that is important and the example is illustrative enough to
get people going.
Once built, it can be added to the local archetypes catalog via
mvn archetype:crawl
and then will be available via the generate plugin
mvn archetype:generate
or it can be invoked directly as follows
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=avro-service-archetype
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.avro -DgroupId=org.simple
-DartifactId=simple-service -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
The parent pom contains common config for generating a pom for the archetype
that references the current avro build version. This takes some slight of hand
with maven resources to insert the version and will be reusable for other
archetypes in the future.
I intend putting together a map-reduce archetype soon and am open to
suggestions for other archetypes that might be useful. Perhaps one that
included the code from AVRO-883 to kick start a basic serialization project?
