Using the Generated Project

  1. Paste the command into a terminal and press Enter to generate the project.
  2. Navigate into the generated project directory.
  3. Import the project into your IDE (see below).
  4. Run the Start class in src/test/java.
  5. Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Importing into Your IDE

All major Java IDEs have native support for Maven projects — no plugins required.

Eclipse

Choose File → Import → Existing Maven Projects and point Eclipse at the folder where the quickstart was generated.

IntelliJ IDEA

Open the pom.xml file directly via File → Open. IntelliJ will recognise it as a Maven project and import it automatically.

NetBeans

Choose File → Open Project and navigate to the generated folder. NetBeans will detect the Maven project and open it like any other Java project.
