Galatea - A Maven/Android Archetype

NOTE: This is a crosspost from http://malsserver.blogspot.com/2010/04/galatea-mavenandroid-archetype.html.

After my experience writing an archetype for Red Dwarf; I decided to do the same thing for Android.  This archetype is based on the maven-android-plugin. I'd like to thank Hugo for helping me get the configuration correct.   So let's get started.

As before...

F:\work>mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://kallisti.eoti.org:8081/content/repositories/snapshots/archetype-catalog.xml

Make sure you have your emulator running (emulator -avd Device1, in my case):

F:\work\TestAndroid>mvn install

This will build, package and deploy it to your emulator.
 

F:\work\TestAndroid>mvn clean

In addition to cleaning your build tree, that will undeploy your app from the emulator.

Update: The repository has been moved from kallisti.eoti.org to repository-malachid.forge.cloudbees.com.  As such, the new command line to launch the archetype is:

F:\work>mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://repository-malachid.forge.cloudbees.com/public-snapshot/archetype-catalog.xml
