+# Metron Maven Archetypes
+
+These are [Apache Maven
Archetypes](http://maven.apache.org/archetype/index.html) for use in creating
extension components for the Apache Metron system
+Archetypes are helpful in creating maven based projects with the correct
setup and dependency configurations for the target system, including providing
sample implementations.
+
+### metron-maven-parser-extension-archetype
+This is an archetype for creating an Apache Metron Parser Extension
+
+#### Use
+
+Build and install the archetype
+```
+$ mvn install
+```
+
+Create a directory to host your extension code
+
+```
+$ mkdir ~/src/my-parser-extension
+$ cd ~/src/my-parser-extension
+```
+
+Use the archetype to create your project
+
+```
+$ mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local
+[Select the org.apache.metron:metron-maven-parser-extension-archetype
(Apache Maven Parser Extension Archetype for Metron) entry]
+```
+

Confirm properties configuration:
* groupId: org.someorg
* artifactId: someparser
* version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
* package: org.someorg.parsers
* metronVersion: 0.4.0
* parserClassName: Nice
* parserName: nice
```
Which turns out like this:
Confirm properties configuration:
* groupId: org.someorg
* artifactId: someparser
* version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
* package: org.someorg.parsers
* metronVersion: 0.4.0
