Java EE Maven Archetypes in the Tutorial

Some of the chapters have instructions on how to build an example application using Maven archetypes. Archetypes are templates for generating a particular Maven project. The Tutorial includes several Maven archetypes for generating Java EE projects.

Click Open Project.
In the Projects tab, right-click the archetypes project and select Build.
