1. Open a Command prompt in a folder outside your XperienCentral installation folder where you would like to create your design template plugin, C:\GX\plugins\ for example..
2. Run the following Maven command and replace "version" with your version of XperienCentral, the "artifact ID" with a name of your choice and be sure to add the correct path to your installation's settings.xml file.. The command is one string.
   
   

   mvn archetype:generate -DinteractiveMode=false -DarchetypeGroupId=nl.gx.webmanager.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=webmanager-presentation-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=10.36 -DgroupId=com.gxwebmanager.helloworld -DartifactId=helloworldDesign template
-Dclassprefix=HelloWorld -s C:\GX\XperienCentral\settings.xml

   
   

   Note

   You have to fill in the XperienCentral version that you are using with the property ‘DarchetypeVersion’. In the above example it’s version 10.36R36 — the version number of XperienCentral used in code must take the form 10.x where x is the major/minor version number. For example, XperienCentral version R35 is declared as 10.35 in code and XperienCentral version R35.1 is declared as 10.35.1. In this example the plugin will be named "helloworldDesign template" and all examples in this topic will use that name.

   
   You should see a ‘Build successful’ message from the Maven command and the helloworldDesign template folder should be created. The created folder structure is:
   
   

   Code Block
   theme Eclipse
   /src/main/.. /java/nl/gx/product/Activator.java /resources/Design templatetype/.. /jsp/ /static/helloworldDesign

   
   
   

3. Create several subdirectories in the /static/helloworldDesign template folder for storing the various types of static files (img, css, js, and so forth).
4. Copy your static files from the design to the /static/helloworldDesign template subfolder.

5. Create several subdirectories in the /jsp/ folder for storing the various types of design templates (page, element, forms, pageparts, and so forth).
   
   

   Note
   If a Design template plugin depends on design template JSPs that are part of the original XperienCentral platform, these JSPs should be copied to the design template plugin in the directory: /src/main/resources/Design templatetype/jsp/wm.

   
   
   

6. Copy the received HTML file from the design into the ../jsp/page/ folder, and rename it to (for example) content.jsp.
