Codename One Maven Archetypes

This project includes maven archetypes for Codename One.

There are two fundamental project types:

Codename One Applications

A multi-module Maven project for developing cross-platform mobile applications in Codename One.

Codename One Libraries

A multi-module Maven project for developing Codename One libraries (.cn1libs).

Creating a New Codename One Application

Use the cn1app-archetype to create a new application project. Below is the full mvn archetype:generate command.

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=com.codenameone \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=cn1app-archetype \
  -DarchetypeVersion=LATEST \
  -DartifactId=$YOUR_PROJECT_ARTIFACT_ID \
  -DgroupId=$YOUR_PROJECT_GROUP_ID \
  -Dversion=$YOUR_PROJECT_VERSION \
  -DmainName=$YOUR_MAIN_CLASS_NAME \
  -DuseInteractiveMode=false
Tip

If you don’t want to remember this whole command, you can simply run mvn archetype:generate and follow the interactive prompts. E.g.

mvn archetype:generate \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=com.codenameone
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=cn1app-archetype

or Even just mvn archetype:generate, and then follow the interactive prompts to filter the list of archetypes.

If archetype:generate completes successfully, you will find your new project in the current working directory in a directory named after the artifactId you supplied for the project using the -DartifactId parameter. The project will contain the following useful files to get you started:

README.adoc

A readme file with useful information about the project layout and instructions for running and building your project.

run.sh/run.bat

Bash and windows batch files for running the project. (These are just thin wrappers around Maven).

build.sh/build.bat

Bash and windows batch files for building the project. (These are just thin wrappers around Maven).

Development Instructions
