Generate a web application using maven generate

Question

I have generated a project struture using maven using mvn archetype:generate and the project structure is as follows: webapps -src -main -java -com -web -App.java -test

I have tried following the tutorial on the link create web app

Running mvn dependency:analyze-dep-mgt

but still the project structure differs.

While I use this mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId={project-packaging} -DartifactId={project-name} -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false, I get Pom file missing

Where am I being wrong so that the struture differs and my web.xml not being generated?

Answer 1

mvn dependency:tree

This is used to view the dependency hierarchy of the project currently being built. It will output the resolved tree of dependencies that the Maven build process actually uses.
