Creating a simple java application
 
 To start of with your java project, you can use 
 <<<maven-archetype-quickstart.>>> Simply, you'd just have to provide a 
 <<<groupId>>> and an <<<artifactId>>> (at the least).
 
+------+
mvn archetype:create 
  -DgroupId=[your project's group id]
  -DartifactId=[your project's artifact id]
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart
+------+

 or simply,

+------+
mvn archetype:create 
  -DgroupId=[your project's group id]
  -DartifactId=[your project's artifact id]
+------+

 This would then create a maven project.

+------+
.
 |-- src
 |   |-- main
 |   |   `-- java
 |   |       `-- [your project's package]   
 |   |           `-- App.java
 |   `-- test
 |       `-- java
 |           `-- [your project's package]   
 |               `-- AppTest.java
  `-- pom.xml
+------+

 For example if we execute this command
 
+------+
mvn archetype:create 
  -DgroupId=your.simple.java.gid 
  -DartifactId=your-simple-java-aid
+------+
 
 We would get this
 
+------+
.
 |-- src
 |   |-- main
 |   |   `-- java
 |   |       `-- your
 |   |           `-- simple
 |   |               `-- java
 |   |                   `-- aid
 |   |                       `-- App.java
 |   `-- test
 |       `-- java
 |           `-- your
 |               `-- simple
 |                   `-- java
 |                       `-- aid
 |                           `-- AppTest.java
  `-- pom.xml
