Is there a basic stack-starter archetype?

I'd like to initialize projects from the command-line using an archetype - what would that be for the basic stack-starter defaults?

What do you mean you would "like to initialize projects from the command-line using an archetype". Can you describe a bit more what you're trying to do?

I'd rather type
Code: Select all
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=org.sonatype.mavenbook -DartifactId=quickstart -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DpackageName=org.sonatype.mavenbook -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 -DinteractiveMode=false
(for some values that generate the same result as the default selections from the jnlp)
than use the stack-starter jnlp.
If I'm not making sense it's OK. I'm almost done creating my own archetype and I can just use that.

We did have a Maven Archetype a long time ago, but switched to the current Stack Starter because it allowed projects to be configured much better out of the box. Is there a specific reason you don't want to use the stack starter web start application?
We do have an experimental way of running the stack starter in a headless way that will generate a project from a properties file (one is generated when you run Stack Starter). I can give you more information on that if it would be helpful.

Thanks for the explanation.
I'm good for now.
