Hi, There are two ways to generate maven project structure: First way: Download the maven package, unzip it and set the maven path up to bin enviornmnet variable.
Now once you are done with this you can generate the maven project structure through command prompt using below command: mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.dns-DartifactId=hibernatemappingexample -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false Second way: Install m2e plugin in eclipse to enable support of maven in eclipse. To make a maven project structure: File->project->maven project-> select the archetype you want, then provide the group id and artifact id. By default .m2 directory (contains all jar dependency) is created inside C:\Users\reena.upadhyay location. You can change its location in conf/settings.xml I hope this answers your question :) On Tue, Apr 22, 2014 at 7:22 AM, Mayank <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am new to Maven, so need some help !! > > I have started using by unzipping its binary.zip and setting the > environment > variables and got the mvn -version executed successfully but after that > none > of the command worked, probably because of setting.xml (not sure, please > clarify). > Then I got another idea and integrated the maven plugin in Eclipse Kepler > and got that successful too.
