##Project Manager This is my experiment to speed up the creation of projects using Archetypes in Eclipse, IDEA and the terminal.

##Reference

• GWTP Eclipse plugin - Install these archetypes through Eclipse.
• Directory Editor

##News

• Eclipse plugin now supports creating projects by archetype. (7/21/2013)
• Archetype editor online and working. (03/15/2013)

##Editor The online directory editor is under way.

• Directory Editor - Online directory editor.

##Source Highlights

• Client - GWTP Desktop Archetype Directory - GWTP application architecture used for the Desktop app.
• Client - GWTP Desktop Rest Communication - Rest communication & JSO.
• Server - GAE Rest Endpoints - Google App Engine endpoints used for rest communication.
• Testing - GAE Rest Endpoints - Using Rest Assured for testing GAE endpoints.

##Overall Goals

• Provide a curated directory of Archetypes.
• Provide an Eclipse plugin to create projects from the Archetype directory.
• Provide an IDEA plugin to create projects from Archetype directory.

##Archetype Directory Goals

• Filter by category, like GWT, GWTP, App Engine...
• Filter by tags, like the technology used to build archetype, JPA, SQL, MySQL, Tomcat…
• Provide users with choice.
• Provide the users favorites.
• Provide tools/scripts to create Archetypes, build, test, deploy...

##Some Ideas for the Project

• Setup project bare bones in minutes.
• Provide choice and allow others to contribute their archetype.
• Provide tutorial archetypes.
• IDE agnostic.

##Why I was working on the GWTP eclipse plugin and didn't want to rewrite the static source writers and thought it would be faster to create the project from an Archetype. But I created a few to choose from and wanted the choice to choose the Archetype. So I figured it be faster to write my own plugin than wait for someone else to make something like this. In other words, why should spend time on redundant setups.
