Chapter 2. Creating the configuration quickstart project

The config-quickstart project lets you get up and running with a simple Quarkus application using Apache Maven and the Quarkus Maven plug-in. The following procedure demonstrates how you can create a Quarkus Maven project.

Procedure

  1. In a command terminal, enter the following command to verify that Maven is using JDK 11 and that the Maven version is 3.6.3 or higher: 

    mvn --version
  2. If the preceding command does not return JDK 11, add the path to JDK 11 to the PATH environment variable and enter the preceding command again.

  3. To generate the project, enter the following command: 

    mvn io.quarkus:quarkus-maven-plugin:1.7.6.Final-redhat-00014:create \
    -DprojectGroupId=org.acme \
    -DprojectArtifactId=config-quickstart \
    -DplatformGroupId=com.redhat.quarkus \
    -DplatformVersion=1.7.6.Final-redhat-00014 \
    -DclassName="org.acme.config.GreetingResource" \
    -Dpath="/greeting"
cd config-quickstart

    This command creates the following elements in the ./config-quickstart directory:

    • The Maven structure
    • An org.acme.config.GreetingResource resource
    • A landing page that is accessible on http://localhost:8080 after you start the application
    • Example Dockerfile file in src/main/docker
    • The application configuration file

    • An associated test

      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.
