Stage 1: Create a New Project

Overview

In this stage, you create a Maven project (simple-router) that contains a sample application.

Steps

Create a new directory, ProjectRoot.
In a command window, change to the ProjectRoot directory.

Enter the following command to create the simple-router project:

mvn archetype:create 
-DremoteRepositories=http://repo.fusesource.com/maven2 
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.camel.archetypes 
-DarchetypeArtifactId=camel-archetype-java 
-DarchetypeVersion=2.4.0-fuse-00-00 
-DgroupId=tutorial 
-DartifactId=simple-router

	Note
	Maven accesses the Internet to download JARs and store them in its local repository.

Maven creates the following directories and files:

ProjectRoot/simple-router
ProjectRoot/simple-router/pom.xml 
ProjectRoot/simple-router/ReadMe.txt
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/data
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/data/message1.xml 
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/data/message2.xml 
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/main
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/main/java
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/main/java/tutorial
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/main/java/tutorial/MyRouteBuilder.java 
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/main/resources
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/main/resources/log4j.properties
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/main/resources/META-INF
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring
ProjectRoot/simple-router/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/camel-context.xml

Some of the project artifacts are described below:

	`pom.xml` is a Maven project file.
	`message1.xml` is an input message in XML format.
	`message2.xml` is an input message in XML format.
	`MyRouteBuilder.java` is a Java source file that implements the sample route.
	`camel-context.xml` is a Spring configuration file.
