It is common practice to start a Lift web application using Maven. Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting, and documentation from a central information source. For details, see http://maven.apache.org/.
To create a new Lift project, use Maven interactively in one of the following three ways:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://scala-tools.org/ |
Or:
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-7:create \ -DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype-blank \ -DarchetypeVersion=0.7.1 \ -DremoteRepositories=http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases \ -DgroupId=__my.liftapp__ -DartifactId=__liftapp__ |
Or:
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-7:create \ -DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype-basic \ -DarchetypeVersion=0.7.1 \ -DremoteRepositories=http://scala-tools.org/repo-releases \ -DgroupId=__my.liftapp__ -DartifactId=__liftapp__ |
After coding your application, build the WAR file using the mvn package command. Then deploy the WAR file to the Oracle GlassFishTM Server as you would any other web application.
