Create and Run Your First ZK Application with Eclipse and Maven

How to create ZK Maven web project

Create Project of Maven

• [File] -> [New] -> [Other] --> [Maven Project]

  

• Make sure Create a simple project is not ticked in the first screen of the New Maven Project wizard and click Next >.

  

• From the Select an Archetype screen, we'll need to add the ZK archetype catalog. Click Configure....

  

• From the Maven archetypes catalogs setting, click Add Remote Catalog... and add the catalog file:

  

http://mavensync.zkoss.org/maven2/

• Click Verify... and then OK to add the catalog.

Remote catalog is empty

If you receive the error message Remote catalog is empty, this is most likely due to a bug in the m2eclipse plugin in v0.12.x, MNGECLIPSE-2757. Until m2eclipse 0.13.x or newer are released, there are two possible workarounds:

1. Install the "Older version" 0.10.x from the Installing m2eclipse website. You'll need to first uninstall m2eclipse 0.12.x, restart and then install 0.10.x from these install sites:

   http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e/0.10.2.20100623-1649/

2. Create the plugin from the archetype using the Maven command line tool mvn, then use Import existing maven project to add the generated project to Eclipse.
