Thanks Edvin,

However, with regards the specifics of any pivot archetype: I'm not sure :)

I'm actually just investigating whether or not pivot is a suitable technology to adopt, and I base my request on the "quickstart" archetype that the Apache Wicket has developed which does the following.

  1. Sets up  a complete example of the most essential wicket components.
  2. Includes jetty libraries and bootstrapping to quickly just "run"
     the application
  3. A working unit test for the components in (1.)


The benefits are thus:

   * I can quickly get an barebones working wicket application that I
     can easily hack on
   * A build environment with all dependencies is created
   * I can quickly knock up a mini-project to just test an API feature
     or a third party component without dirtying or having to wait for
     the re-build of the huge client application. (From this
     mini-project I can then copy the resulting code out and trash the
     quickstart)
   * Wicket also use quickstarts for raising bugs, with isolated issues.


Unfortunately I only stumbled upon Pivot yesterday and so I don't anything about what is needed to be included. Neither do know how to implement an archetype, sorry - ( looks like I'm just a greedy selfish consumer of such goodies! :) )


However, some sort of minimal working project quickstart would be beneficial to speed up initial evaluation.


With thanks

Rob

I'd be happy to create one.. besides setting up dependencies and creating a main class, what would you like the archetype to prepare for you?

Hello,

I've seen this has had some attention in the past - but I was wondering
if there is a Maven archetype available for pivot quickstarts?

Thanks

Rob
