Creating a Lift application using Maven

In the previous recipe, we learned how to use SBT to create and run a Lift application. Now I will show you how to set up and run a Lift application using Maven, which is another build tool.

Getting ready

If you don't have Maven installed and configured on your computer, go to http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi, download Maven 3.1.0, and follow the installation instructions.

How to do it...

We will use a Maven archetype that will create a ready-to-use Lift application for us.

  1. Open a cmd window and run the following command:
    mvn archetype:generate ^
     -DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb ^
     -DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype-basic_2.9.1 ^
     -DarchetypeVersion=2.5 ^
     -DarchetypeRepository=https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases
    ^
     -DgroupId=lift.cookbook ^
     -DartifactId=chap01-mvn ^
     -Dversion=1.0
    

    After running the previous command, Maven will start to download all the required libraries to create the project.

  2. Once the download is complete, Maven will ask you to confirm some information about the project. Confirm them by typing Y and pressing return.
  3. Change the following tags in the pom.xml file:

    From:

    <scala.version>2.9.1</scala.version>

    To:

    <scala.version>2.10</scala.version>

    From:

    <artifactId>lift-mapper_2.9.1</artifactId>

    To:

    <artifactId>lift-mapper_2.10</artifactId>

    From:

    <artifactId>lift-jquery-module_2.9.1</artifactId>
    <version>2.5-2.0</version>

    To:

    <artifactId>lift-jquery-module_2.5_2.10</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>

    From:

    <groupId>org.scala-tools</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-scala-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.15.2</version>

    To:

    <groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>scala-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.5</version>

    From:

    <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>6.1.26</version>

    To:

    <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  4. When you have finished editing the pom.xml file, open a cmd window, go to the folder containing the pom.xml file, and run the following command to update and compile the project:
    mvn compile
    
  5. Once Maven finishes the compilation, you will be able to start the application by running the following command:
    mvn jetty:run
    
  6. Now that you have the application up and running, you can access http://localhost:8080 in your favorite browser, and you should see a welcome page similar to the following:

How it works...

When you create a project using the Lift archetype, you get a fully working application containing everything you need to build your own application. This means that Maven will create an application with its default directory structure, a pom.xml file, with everything needed by the sample application. It will also include the jetty plugin that will allow us to run the application by running the jetty:run command.

The application created by Maven is a sample application that contains Blueprint CSS and a Mapper model. One more thing to notice is that this archetype also includes plugins for IntelliJ IDEA and Scala IDE.
