buildr generate folder structure

Question

I'm starting to use Apache buildr. As far as I understand, I always have to create the default folder structure (src/main/java etc) on my own? Is there a way to let buildr to this job for me?

Thanks,

Answer 1

• Use Maven 2 archetype generation
• Run Buildr from the project dir. it sees the pom.xml and asks if you want to create a basic Buildr script from it.
• Run 'buildr eclipse' to generate .classpath and .project
• In Eclipse, import from a existing project in file system

Answer 2

buildr is just a build tool, it is not meant to generate archetypes or build a website.

But you're right, sometimes you need to generate a new project, so I wrote a tiny shell script (you can find the gist here).

Here is how it works :

$ ./createBuildrProject.sh jptest

To use Buildr you need a buildfile. Do you want me to create one?:
1. From directory structure
2. Cancel

The output directories are like this :
