There are a number of ways to do this. A shell script is one option that
springs to mind.
For a simple 'pure' Maven approach that doesnt require you to write much
code you could try something like this
A pom (make sure you rename it to bootstrap.xml or some such) -
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.acme</groupId>
<artifactId>project-gen</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<build>
<directory>${genArtifactId}</directory>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="processing generated project
${genArtifactId} ..."/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-archetype-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>create</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<groupId>${genGroupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>${genArtifactId}</artifactId>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Combined with the following command line:
mvn clean process-resources -DgenArtifactId=test-project
-DgenGroupId=com.acme -f bootstrap.xml
Should create you a basic quickstart project in a relative folder named
[genArtifactId]
You will need to invoke your Java 'method' via the antrun plugin.
