[akka-user] Akka Maven Archetype: the simplest way to get started with Java-based Akka project

[Jonas Bonér]

Hi guys. 

I've added this section to the Getting Started guide (thanks Mikael): 

Create an Akka-based project

Java based project

The simplest way to get started with a Java-based Akka project is to checkout and install Mikael Sundberg's Maven archetype. In order to do that you first need to install:

• Git - http://git-scm.com
• Maven - http://maven.apache.org/

Now you can do the following:

1. git clone git:/ /github.com/bobo/akka_mvn_archetyp
2. cd akka_mvn_archetyp
3. mvn install

Then somewhere else in a folder you want your project you run:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local

Then you get some options. Just follow the instructions, choose the correct archetype, choose project name, package name etc., and you should have a project created for you. This project is using Maven as build tool and has two Active Objects, a ChatServer and a ChatSession. You also have a JUnit. You can try to compile and run the test by invoking:

1. mvn install
2. mvn test

From here start making your changes.
