Setting up a build environment

We are going to use Apache Maven (http://maven.apache.org/) when building the examples in this chapter. Create a basic Java client project as follows by using the Maven Quick Start artifact:

$ mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

The preceding command gives us a build project, a directory structure, and a Java file (com.mycompany.app.App.java) to put some code in. To use the OpenCMIS library, we need to first configure it in the Maven POM file's dependency section, open the generated pom.xml file, and add the following:

<project ...
    <dependencies>
        <!-- Bring in the OpenCMIS library for talking to CMIS servers -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.chemistry.opencmis</groupId>
            <artifactId>chemistry-opencmis-client-impl</artifactId>
            <version>0.10.0&lt...
