⁠3.4. Create the HTML5 Project

The HTML5 archetype can be generated within JBoss Developer Studio using either the HTML5 Project wizard in JBoss Central or the IDE New Maven Project wizard. The procedures below outline both methods but you only need to use one. You should start by using the HTML5 Project wizard and check the archetype version it is using before continuing. The archetype version is predetermined in this project wizard and it may not match the version of this JBoss Web Framework Kit release. If it does not match, you must use the New Maven Project wizard instead, in which you can specify the archetype version explicitly.
⁠

Procedure 3.1. Create the HTML5 Project using the JBoss Central Wizard

  1. In JBoss Central, under Start from scratch, click HTML5 Project. The New Project Example wizard opens.
