This project contains a barebones example webapp that uses Maven to package a web app.

This project is laid out like this:

• hello-world-maven/
  • pom.xml is a Maven POM file that defines the project.
  • src/main/ is a directory that contains the code.
    • java/ is a directory that contains server-side code.
      • io.happycoding.servlets.HelloWorldServlet.java is a Java servlet that returns some HTML content.
    • webapp/ is a directory that contains web files.
      • index.html is an HTML file that shows static content.

You can compile this into a directory and a .war file by executing this command:

mvn package
