Start magnolia's project archetype from official catalog

Scenario 1

I am following the steps described in the official documentation, so that

The problem is that whether I try with default context root (xyz-webapp), or modify it to /, still http://localhost:8080/ gives 404 error but after the docs I should be getting to the install page. What am I doing wrong?

Found this old but official screencast which is doing exactly what I'm after. In the first scenario, presented in the question I added the maven archetype modules from Eclipse. Now I followed the video, so I used only mvn to set up the project with:

  • mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.4:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=https://nexus.magnolia-cms.com/content/groups/public/
  • cd to base dir
  • mvn clean install
  • cd to webapp dir
  • mvn war:inplace
  • delete xyz-webapp\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\lib

Now after importing this to Eclipse there were some things to resolve

  • error unpacking magnolia-empty-webapp-5.6.war I tried to run maven update few times, not sure if this resolved it but I don't get this anymore.
  • warnings like groupId is defined in parent, no need for it in modules, so removed them.
  • xml errors from jackrabit-*.xml files with "Referenced files contains errors". I don't know how to resolve these, left them as they are.
  • The file cannot be validated as the XML definition "...\templateModule\src\main\resources\META-INF\magnolia\module.dtd (The system cannot find the file specified)" that is specified as describing the syntax of the file cannot be located. templateModule.xml /templateModule/src/main/resources/META-INF/magnolia line 2 XML Problem
    • line 2: <!DOCTYPE module SYSTEM "module.dtd" >
  • When running the server now I get at least an error:
    • ERROR info.magnolia.init.MagnoliaServletContextListener : Oops, Magnolia could not be started info.magnolia.module.model.reader.ModuleDependencyException: The following exceptions were found while checking Magnolia modules dependencies (i.e. those in META-INF/magnolia/my-module.xml): Module Magnolia Admincentral (version 5.6.0) is dependent on imaging (version 3.4/*), which was not found.
    • So I added the dependency magnolia-imaging in /templateModule/pom.xml

Now it starts up as expected.
