      Note

      Note that the project name should be a valid filename. Avoid using a space or any special character that might lead to an invalid folder name.

  6. Define the Project General Settings and Group artifact version details for this new project. These parameters are stored inside the pom.xml maven configuration file.
    • Project Name: The name for the project; for example Mortgages
    • Project Description: The description of the project which may be useful for the project documentation purpose.
    • Group ID: group ID of the project; for example org.mycompany.commons
    • Artifact ID: artifact ID unique in the group; for example myframework
    • Version ID: version of the project; for example 2.1.1
    The Project Screen view is updated with the new project details as defined in the pom.xml file. Note, that you can switch between project descriptor files in the drop down-box with Project Settings and Knowledge Base Setting, and edit their contents.
