How do I add a site to a project using the archetype plugin?
Author: Deron Eriksson
Description: This maven tutorial describes how to add site files to a project using the archetype plugin.
Tutorial created using:
Windows Vista || JDK 1.6.0_04 || Eclipse Web Tools Platform 2.0.1 (Eclipse 3.3.1)
In another tutorial, we created an EclipseSW external tool configuration to add simple site files to an existing project. This involved calling the archetype:create goal with an archetypeArtifactId parameter. We can use a similar technique to add more involved site documentation to an existing project via -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-site. An external tool configuration to do this is shown here:
The ${maven_exec} string substitution variable points to my mavenSW mvn.bat file (C:\dev\apache-maven-2.0.8\bin\mvn.bat). Notice that the working directory is my Eclipse workspace directory. Also notice that the groupId and the artifactId of the project in question need to be entered via prompts. 
I'd like to add site documentation files to my "aproject" project. 
I'll execute the "mvn archetype~create site" configuration. 
I enter the groupId of my "aproject" project, which is "com.maventest". 
Next, I enter its artifactId, "aproject".
