Creating an Endpoints Backend Project

To create a project for your backend:

1. Invoke maven as follows:

   mvn archetype:generate
   

2. Supply the value appengine-skeleton-archetype when prompted for a number or filter to narrow down the list of available archetypes.

3. Choose the number corresponding to the displayed result com.google.appengine.archetypes:appengine-skeleton-archetype when prompted, then press Return.

4. Supply the value com.google.appengine.samples.helloendpoints when prompted to define the value for property groupId, then press Return.

5. Supply the value helloendpoints when prompted to define the value for property artifactId, then press Return.

6. Accept the default version by pressing Return.

7. Accept the default package by pressing Return.

If you see instructions for configuring the generated pom.xml file, stop. We'll describe that step in more detail next in this tutorial.

You now have the basic structure of the project completed. You need to configure the project before adding code.
