Hi For the people who don't know, a maven archetype is like a template to create a project file.
The project to be voted here are a set of very simple maven archetypes that shows simple helloworld examples. myfaces-archetype-helloworld : Hello World using myfaces 1.2.2 myfaces-archetype-helloworld-facelets : Hello World using myfaces 1.2.2 and facelets myfaces-archetype-jsfcomponents : Custom component that say hello myfaces-archetype-trinidad: Hello World using myfaces 1.2.2 and trinidad 1.2.5 One example of how to use this archetypes is this: mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.myfaces.buildtools -DarchetypeArtifactId=myfaces-archetype-helloworld -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.1 -DgroupId=org.apache.myfaces.test -DartifactId=myfaces-helloworld or mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.myfaces.buildtools -DarchetypeArtifactId=myfaces-archetype-helloworld-facelets -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=org.apache.myfaces.test -DartifactId=myfaces-helloworld-facelets or mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.myfaces.buildtools -DarchetypeArtifactId=myfaces-archetype-trinidad -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=org.apache.myfaces.test -DartifactId=myfaces-trinidad-helloworld or mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.myfaces.buildtools -DarchetypeArtifactId=myfaces-archetype-jsfcomponents -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=org.apache.myfaces.test -DartifactId=myfaces-jsfcomp The first command creates a project called myfaces-helloworld. As simple as you can see. With archetypes you can create projects preconfigured and start to work immediately. myfaces 1.2.2 are now on http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/org/apache/myfaces/core/myfaces-api/ and http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/org/apache/myfaces/core/myfaces-impl/ So it's just matter of time to be copied on all other mirrors (I hope to do the ANNOUNCE). If you have some time please VOTE regards Leonardo Uribe
