I agree with the generator, I only to suggest to change the current page to add / at the end of line and put -DgroupId=... and -DartifactId into the same line so if the user copy (without the last new line he could change with arrow the content of the last line.

This doesn't work well: pasting from a browser with newlines in it is hell.
Why would you want to edit the commandline again? We are building a page
that generates the correct commandline for you!
I just want a text area or text field that generates the line to paste
without any newlines in it.

Something like:

Enter your project data:
groupId       [textfield]
artifactId     [textfield]
                  [generate]

Copy and paste the contents of this field into your command line (dos box or
unix shell):
[generated string s.th. like mvn -...........]

If you want to go sexy, add a button to copy the contents to the clipboard.

The first thing that can be done is to provide a sample that could work by
copy/paste in a shell, and only need to edit the last line :
mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.wicket /
-DarchetypeArtifactId=wicket-archetype-quickstart /
-DarchetypeVersion=1.3.0-rc1 /
-DgroupId=com.mycompany -DartifactId=myproject

The current quickstart page shows a commandline that is not very
friendly
to
edit by hand: you have to unwrap the lines and figure out which parts
need
to be changed. This task will add to the example two textboxes and a
bit
of
Javascript to generate the maven command ready to copy/paste to a dos
box
(or unix commandline).
It should ask for the groupId and the artifactId and generate the
resulting
commandline. It should also be able to be run inside a confluence wiki
page.
The student can test using the Wicket confluence wiki. We will move the
page
when ready to the official space.
