Chapter 2. Creating the configuration quickstart project

Procedure

1. Verify that Maven is using JDK 11 and that the Maven version is 3.8.1 or higher:

   mvn --version

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   If this command does not return JDK 11, ensure that the directory where JDK 11 is installed on your system is included in the PATH environment variable:

   export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/jdk-11

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2. Enter the following command to generate the project:

   mvn io.quarkus:quarkus-maven-plugin:1.11.7.Final-redhat-00009:create \
       -DprojectGroupId=org.acme \
       -DprojectArtifactId=config-quickstart \
       -DplatformGroupId=com.redhat.quarkus \
       -DplatformVersion=1.11.7.Final-redhat-00009 \
       -DclassName="org.acme.config.GreetingResource" \
       -Dpath="/greeting"
   cd config-quickstart

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   This command creates the following items in the config-quickstart directory:

   • The Maven project directory structure
   • An org.acme.config.GreetingResource resource
   • A landing page that you can access at http://localhost:8080 after you start the application
   • Associated unit tests for testing your application in native mode and JVM mode
   • Example Dockerfile.jvm, Dockerfile.native and Dockerfile.fast-jar files in src/main/docker

   • The application configuration file

     Note

     Alternatively, you can download a Quarkus Maven project to use in this tutorial from the Quarkus quickstart archive or clone the Quarkus Quickstarts Git repository. The exercise is located in the config-quickstart directory.
