Lift Framework simple commands

I am starting to play around with the Lift Framework which my friend Tim P is involved in (and keeps telling me about at every pub trip!). So there are a couple of commands to get a project created and started with Lift. Once you have the everything installed (see the Lift site for details on installation prerequisites) to create a new project enter the command:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://scala-tools.org/

You will get asked a few questions by the installer and then you should have your project setup.

To run the new project navigate to the root directory of the project and type:

mvn jetty:run

This will run the site and start a small web server. You may notice that it does a lot of checks and downloads any components you are missing. If want to skip this check add -o to the end. This will run it in offline mode:

mvn jetty:run -o

To stop the server running hit Ctrl-c on a Windows machine (you will have to ask Tim about other systems).

To recompile to project without stopping the serve, remember to open a different console window:

mvn compile

No I have this a reference I shouldn't need to keep looking it up Smile
