Using the latest archetype

Lot of time I don’t post something…

But the development of Parancoe is not death. I’m working at the next major release: Parancoe 3.0!

Some of the changes:
  • The persistence (generic DAOs) has its own independent project now: Lambico. It’s more evolved and robust.
  • Parancoe now uses Spring 3.0, with it latest evolution and improvements.
  • The suggested style for developing the controllers is the REST one.
  • The validation is JSR 303 – Bean Validation (according to Spring MVC 3.0).
  • We have a new subproject called Parancoe – Validation, for introducing some useful validator, ready for use. (what about a “new password” validator?)

You can start trying Parancoe 3 using the snapshots: Parancoe artifacts are already in our Maven snapshot repository.

For starting a new project based on Parancoe 3, use the “Parancoe Advanced Archetype”, typing the following command:


mvn -DarchetypeGroupId=org.parancoe \
    -DarchetypeArtifactId=parancoe-advancedarchetype \
    -DarchetypeVersion=3.0-SNAPSHOT \
    -DarchetypeRepository=https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots \
    -Darchetype.repository=https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots \
    -Darchetype.interactive=false \
    -DgroupId=org.myorg \
    -DartifactId=myapp \
    -Dpackage=org.myorg.padt \
    -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT \
    --batch-mode \
    --update-snapshots \
