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

   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

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

   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.
