Subject: site is very confusing for beginners - how to get list of
archetypes - link on faq is broken
I'm really struggling with the way the maven2 site is organized.
I'm on the getting started guide
http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html
I get to the point where it mentions "How do I make my first Maven
project" and it talks about Archetypes. I figured I'd like to see what
archetypes I can use since the one it shows seems to make a jar (and
I'm curious about ears and wars as well.) So I lick on the link right
there in the description "Introduction to Archetypes" and I'm brought
to this page which says very little.
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-archetypes.html
So I figured I'll browse the site and try to find out how I can find a
list of archetypes. Now where would you go on the site to find this?
I'd think this would be important information?
I've been looking everywhere. I shouldn't have to go to a FAQ for this
important information, but more on that later. So I'm not going to the
FAQ and searching all the menu items. By accident I happen to look at
plugins and I noticed an "archetype" plugin so I click on that and get
some decent info but still no explanation of what archetypes are
available.
Eventually I give up and figure I'll browse the FAQ. There happens to
be a link "How do I get a list of archetypes" but when I click on it I
get a 404
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/archetype/trunk/maven-archetypes
A frustrating start for me. I hope it gets better.
