I will populate this issue with the sample code for my appfuse plugin along with a sample maven 2 project that supports the plugin. The sample project was manually created and is currently incomplete. I am hoping with support from the community to get the archetype plugin to generate this project and all of its related artifacts. Once the project is generated the plugin will generate the artifacts to extend the appfuse project such as additional daos, managers, web pages, menus etc. I would encourage feedback and assistance on this undertaking as I have a lot to learn about both appfuse and maven 2. Attached are the following: issueslist.txt - listing current issues and hacks I did to make the project assemble installationinstructions.txt - There are a number of jars that are not accessable due to various licenses,etc. I have included instructions on how to install them in to a working maven 2 environment. appfuseproject.zip - a zip file containing the initial maven project additionaljars.zip - A zip of the additional jars required to make the project build. maven-appfuse-plugin.jar - The plugin for appfuse pluginsource.zip - The source code for the Ant based M2 plugin In order to run the plugin and or build the project do the following: 1) Download all files 2) follow the installation instructions to install the additional jars 3) unzip the appfuseproject.zip 4) go to the appfuse directory for the project you just unzipped 5) run the command mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true This will run the required builds to populate your local repository with the dao , service, web, ear and pom projects. I would appreciate any and all help and education to get this done. 3) Unzip the
