Prepare environment for archetype generation

To generate a Maven project from the command line, you must install Java 21 and Maven 3.9.x. The preparation steps are as follows:

  1. Download and install the latest Azul JDK 21.x. To verify availability from the command line, use the java -version command.
  2. Download and install the latest Maven 3.9.x. To verify availability from the command line, use the mvn -version command.

Once you install Java and Maven, configure Maven's settings.xml file located in the C:/Users/[USER_NAME]/.m2 folder. If you installed Work.AI Developer, the file is updated automatically. Otherwise, make sure it contains the following configuration:

  <servers>
    <!-- Nexus credentials for Maven to download WF dependencies to build a project. Read only permissions are needed for this user -->
    <server>
      <id>wf-dependencies</id>
      <username>odf-user</username>
      <password>Workfusion!5</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
  
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>wf-repo</id>
      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>wf-dependencies</id>
          <url>https://repository.workfusion.com/content/groups/dependencies</url>
        </repository>
        <repository>
          <id>wf-archetypes</id>
          <url>https://repository.workfusion.com/content/repositories/archetypes</url>
        </repository>
      </repositories>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
  
  <activeProfiles>
    <activeProfile>wf-repo</activeProfile>
  </activeProfiles>
note

If you don't have the .m2 folder and settings.xml, create them manually in the C:/Users/[USER_NAME] folder.

If you use custom Nexus—other than <https://repository.workfusion.com>—your default settings.xml file looks as follows:
