I have Maven a pom.xml file (copied from another project, and adapted), and I would like to generate the directory structure for a new project. Which command can do this?
Note that I found countless examples on the web, that explained how to use mvn archetype:create to create a pom.xml file and the directory structure, but I already have a pom.xml, and I would like to create the directories based on that, without specifying groupId, artifactId etc on the command line.
mvn archetype:create-from-project also seems to create a pom.xml based on another pom.xml (?) but I just want the directories. Thank you in advance!
EDIT: I am aware that this is not a "big problem" because I can create the directories manually :) I did it already many times, and I always felt that there must be a smarter way to do it...
Not to sound condescending, but:
mkdir -p src/main/java
mkdir -p src/main/resources
mkdir -p src/test/java
mkdir -p src/test/resources
(or feel free to substitute different directories).
I don't know of any maven command that will create this structure for you without creating a new pom file.
