读这篇文章之前请先确保你成功安装了maven，如果你还没安装成功，请先看：Maven 入门 （1）—— 安装 这里的文章安装成功再继续。

因为maven在执行一些插件目标的时候可能会从中心数据库下载依赖的文件，因此，使用maven的时候请保持联网状态。

现在如果你已经迫不及待了，那么可以尝试在命令行终端先输入：

[plain] view plaincopyprint?

1. mvn clean install  

mvn clean install

这时候会打印正在下载各种文件。是不是感觉很爽呢？好了，下面我们开始进入正题：

1、先创建一个Maven项目。

在终端输入命令然后执行：

[plain] view plaincopyprint?
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false  
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
和之前一样，现在它也是在不停下载各种所需要的文件。

等到命令结束后，你发现当前目录下多了一个叫my-app的目录，它里面有pom.xml和src目录，如下图：

完整目录结构如下：

是不是很神奇嘞？

神奇归神奇，刚刚那个命令那么复杂，它到底是什么意思，做了什么操作？别急，我们慢慢看。

首先，你刚刚执行了一个maven的目标"archetype:generate",并传了不同的参数给那个目标。"archetype"是一个插件，它包含了"generate"这个目标。如果你熟悉Ant，你可以假设它就是ant中的task。这个目标创建基于原型之上的简单工程。总之就是，插件是一系列通用目标的集合。例如jboss-maven-plugin，就是用于处理各种不同的jboss项目。

接着，我们来看看 -DgroupId  -DartifactId -DarchetypeArtifactId -DinteractiveMode 这几个属性

其实它们是Java执行时的参数。

groupId：一般填的是项目名，有的人喜欢填公司名。这里说下，一个公司一般是有多个项目的，如果这里填公司名，那么artifactId只能填项目名了。而version毫无疑问是版本号。这样在项目的划分上粒度比较粗。因此，我一般groupId是填到项目。比如：com.taobao.shop。
artifactId：上面填了项目，那么这里就可以填模块了。比如：login
version：这里填的是本模块版本。
OK上面的groupId、artifactId、version（简称GAV）构成了maven中的“定位系统“，理论上所有的依赖包都可以通过GAV找到。
我们接着看其它参数，
archetypeArtifactId：这个参数其实是指定一个模版来初始化生成你的项目。比如你是一个普通的java应用程序，还是一个web程序，都有对应的模版。
如果你还是不懂怎么生成一个maven项目，那么，你也可以通过命令行：
mvn help:describe -Dplugin=archetype
一样的，这里help也是一个插件，然后describe是目标，而-Dplugin参数指明了describe要查看的是archetype插件的信息。

这样就能获得archetype这个插件的帮助。
Name: Maven Archetype Plugin
Description: Maven Archetype is a set of tools to deal with archetypes, i.e.
  an abstract representation of a kind of project that can be instantiated into
  a concrete customized Maven project. An archetype knows which files will be
  part of the instantiated project and which properties to fill to properly
  customize the project.
Group Id: org.apache.maven.plugins
Artifact Id: maven-archetype-plugin
Version: 2.2
Goal Prefix: archetype

This plugin has 8 goals:

archetype:crawl
  Description: Crawl a Maven repository (filesystem, not HTTP) and creates a
    catalog file.

archetype:create
  Description: The archetype creation goal looks for an archetype with a
    given groupId, artifactId, and version and retrieves it from the remote
    repository. Once the archetype is retrieved, it is then processed against a
    set of user parameters to create a working Maven project.
  Deprecated. Please use the generate mojo instead.

archetype:create-from-project
  Description: Creates an archetype project from the current project.
    
    This goal reads your source and resource files, the values of its
    parameters, and properties you specify in a .property file, and uses them
    to create a Maven archetype project using the maven-archetype packaging. If
    you build the resulting project, it will create the archetype. You can then
    use this archetype to create new projects that resemble the original.
    
    The maven-archetype-plugin uses Velocity to expand template files, and this
    documentation talks about 'Velocity Properties', which are values
    substituted into Velocity templates. See The Velocity User's Guide for more
    information.
    
    This goal modifies the text of the files of the current project to form the
    Velocity template files that make up the archetype.
    
    GAV
      The GAV values for the current project are replaced by properties:
      groupId, artifactId, and version. The user chooses new values for these
      when generating a project from the archetype.
    package
      All the files under one specified Java (or cognate) package are relocated
      to a project that the user chooses when generating a project. References
      to the class name are replaced by a property reference. For example, if
      the current project's sources are in the package
      org.apache.saltedpeanuts, then any example of the string
      org.apache.saltedpeanuts is replaced with the Velocity property reference
      ${packageName}. When the user generates a project, this is in turn
      replaced by his or her choice of a package.
    custom properties
      You may identify additional strings that should be replaced by
      parameters. To add custom properties, you must use the propertyFile
      parameter to specify a property file. See the documentation for
      propertyFile for the details.
    
    Note that you may need to edit the results of this goal. This goal has no
    way to exclude unwanted files, or add copyright notices to the Velocity
    templates, or add more complex elements to the archetype metadata file.
    
    This goal also generates a simple integration-test that exercises the
    generated archetype.

archetype:generate
  Description: Generates a new project from an archetype, or updated the
    actual project if using a partial archetype. If the project is fully
    generated, it is generated in a directory corresponding to its artifactId.
    If the project is updated with a partial archetype, it is done in the
    current directory.

archetype:help
  Description: Display help information on maven-archetype-plugin.
    Call
      mvn archetype:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=<goal-name>
    to display parameter details.

archetype:integration-test
  Description: Execute the archetype integration tests, consisting in
    generating projects from the current archetype and optionally comparing
    generated projects with reference copy.
    
    
    Each IT consists of a sub-directory in src/test/resources/projects
    containing:
    
    - a goal.txt file, containing a list of goals to run against the generated
      project (can be empty, content ignored before maven-archetype-plugin
      2.1),
    - an archetype.properties file, containing properties for project
      generation,
    - an optional reference/ directory containing a reference copy of the
      expected project created from the IT.
    
    Notice that it is expected to be run as part as of a build after the
    package phase and not directly as a goal from CLI.

archetype:jar
  Description: Build a JAR from the current Archetype project.

archetype:update-local-catalog
  Description: Updates the local catalog

For more information, run 'mvn help:describe [...] -Ddetail'

我们注意到：archetype这个插件本身也有个help目标，似乎能查找更多帮助信息。

那么我们可以尝试用下面命令来查找generate目标的信息：
mvn archetype:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=generate
然后，这时候返回的内容是：
cmatoMacBook-Pro:~ cjunhong$ mvn archetype:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=generate

Maven Archetype Plugin
  Maven Archetype is a set of tools to deal with archetypes, i.e. an abstract
  representation of a kind of project that can be instantiated into a concrete
  customized Maven project. An archetype knows which files will be part of the
  instantiated project and which properties to fill to properly customize the
  project.
archetype:generate
  Generates a new project from an archetype, or updated the actual project if
  using a partial archetype. If the project is fully generated, it is generated
  in a directory corresponding to its artifactId. If the project is updated with
  a partial archetype, it is done in the current directory.
  Available parameters:
    archetypeArtifactId
      The archetype's artifactId.
      Expression: ${archetypeArtifactId}
    archetypeCatalog (Default: remote,local)
      The archetype catalogs to use to build a list and let the user choose
      from. It is a comma separated list of catalogs. Catalogs use following
      schemes:
      - 'file://...' with archetype-catalog.xml automatically appended when
        pointing to a directory
      - 'http://...' or 'https://...' with archetype-catalog.xml always appended
      - 'local' which is the shortcut for 'file://~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml'
      - 'remote' which is the shortcut for Maven Central repository, ie
        'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2'
      - 'internal' which is an internal catalog
      Since 2.0-alpha-5, default value is no longer internal,local but
      remote,local. If Maven Central repository catalog file is empty, internal
      catalog is used instead.
      Expression: ${archetypeCatalog}
    archetypeGroupId
      The archetype's groupId.
      Expression: ${archetypeGroupId}
    archetypeRepository
      The archetype's repository.
      Expression: ${archetypeRepository}
    archetypeVersion
      The archetype's version.
      Expression: ${archetypeVersion}
    basedir
      (no description available)
      Expression: ${basedir}
    filter
      Applying some filter on displayed archetypes list: format is artifactId or
      groupId:artifactId.
      - org.apache: -> displays all archetypes which contain org.apache in
        groupId
      - :jee or jee -> displays all archetypes which contain jee in artifactId
      - org.apache:jee -> displays all archetypes which contain org.apache in
        groupId AND jee in artifactId
      Expression: ${filter}
    goals
      Additional goals to immediately run on the project created from the
      archetype.
      Expression: ${goals}
    interactiveMode (Default: ${settings.interactiveMode})
      User settings use to check the interactiveMode.
      Required: Yes
      Expression: ${interactiveMode}

看到没有，连我们刚刚没有解释的interactiveMode参数，它里面也都有了说明了。
所以，要善于利用help插件来查找某个插件的信息，然后如果得知这个插件有help目标查找更详细信息，那么就更好了！
