Creating java classes and java package on command line using maven

Question

I have created a java spring mvc application using eclipse and ii am running it using java mvn on my command line mvn package and mvn tomcat7:run and everything works out. However, i want to generate a new java package. I have this packages that already exists

com.boilerplate.configs
com.boilerplate.controllers
com.boilerplate.models
com.boilerplate.services

are all packages i created while i was on eclipse. Inside each package, there are classes that i have created,for instance there is a class BoilerplateController.java inside of controllers.

How can i add a package using for instance com.boilerplate.aws using maven or java?.

Answer 1

A package is just a directory. Use a file explorer or command line stuff.

In java, you could write

new File("src/main/java/com/boilerplate/package2").mkdirs()

But you are probably mistaking the concepts here. Use the IDE, such as Eclipse, to write the code, and use mvn to build it and java to execute it.
