How to create a ZK Component Maven project
Create Project of Maven
- [File] -> [New] -> [Other] --> [Maven Project]
- Make sure Create a simple project is not ticked in the first screen of the New Maven Project wizard and click Next >.
- From the Select an Archetype screen, we'll need to add the ZK archetype catalog. Click Configure....
- From the Maven archetypes catalogs setting, click Add Remote Catalog... and add the catalog file:
http://mavensync.zkoss.org/maven2/
- Click Verify... and then OK to add the catalog.
- Remote catalog is empty.[1]
- Click OK in the "Preferences" dialogue.
- Now you should be able to find zk in the Catalog dropdown list.
- Select the zk-archetype-component from the list. (At time of writing this is at version 0.8.0).
- Next, fill in details for group id, artifact id, version number and package name.
- If property zk-version-since or component class is missing.[2]
- Click Finish and the Eclipse status bar should say ' Creating zk-archetype-component ' and ' Updating Maven Dependencies '. If this is the user's first time dealing with ZK libraries, Maven will download the necessary dependencies to compile and run this example, and would be stored in .m2/repository in your home directory.
- ↑
If an error message appears stating that the Remote catalog is empty, this is most likely due to a bug in the m2eclipse plugin in v0.12.x, MNGECLIPSE-2757.
Until m2eclipse 0.13.x or newer versions are released, there are two possible workarounds:
- Install the "Older version" 0.10.x from the Installing m2eclipse website. Users will first need to uninstall m2eclipse 0.12.x, restart and then install 0.10.x from the following site:
- Create the plugin from the archetype using the Maven command line tool mvn, then use import existing maven project to add the generated project to Eclipse. For more details, please refer to Use the command line version of Maven for creating the project.
- ↑
Users who are running this wizard for the first time, zk archetype would not have been downloaded into m2eclipse yet, and as a result may not populate the property zk-version-since correctly, leading to an error message as such:
- Unable to create project from archetype [org.zkoss:zk-archetype-component:0.8.0 -> http://mavensync.zkoss.org/maven2/], Archetype org.zkoss:zk-archetype-component:0.8.0 is not configured property zk-version-since is missing.
How to run Maven project on Run-Jetty-Run
- Go to Run Configurations
- Double click on Jetty Webapp
- It will automatically fill-out Project / Port / Context / WebApp Dir
- Click Run and start browsing local ZK application at http://127.0.0.1:8080/mycomps/
Packing your component
- Go to Run As > Maven package
- The project will then be packed into a war file and a zip file with source code.
Use the command line version of Maven to create a project
- For instructions on how to set up maven, please refer to Maven.
- Go to the folder in the Eclipse workspace, then run the following command:
- Calling archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://mavensync.zkoss.org/maven2/ the plugin will first ask to choose the archetype from the zk catalog - just enter the number of the archetype.
- It will then ask the user to enter the values for groupId, the artifactId and the version of the project to create and the base package for the sources.
- It then asks for confirmation of the configuration and performs the creation of the project.
- In the following example, component archetype (number 1) is selected and groupId is set to org.test, artifactId to mycomps, version to 1.0-SNAPSHOT and package to org.test.mycomps.
$ mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://mavensync.zkoss.org/maven2/

- After this, the user should now get a new project in the Package explorer.
