Create Maven Project
In this post, let us see how to create ZK Maven Project
Step 1:
In the eclipse IDE, Select File –> New-> Other->Maven Project as shown
Click Next
Uncheck the option “Create a simple Project(skip archetype selection) and Click Next
Select “ZK” for catalog and Select “org.zkoss zk-archetype-webapp 6.0” from the list as shown above.
Enter “CRUDExample” for Group ID, Artifact ID and Package as shown above. Finally click finish to create the Project.
Now Maven will create the project structure as shown here.
Step 2:
Next we will update POM.XML. By default, Maven ZK will create 6.0.1 version. Let us change to latest version “6.5.1” . And also, let us remove the ZK Commercial version Repository in the POM.XML File. Here is the Modified POM.XML File
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
