Mulesoft-maven-archetypes is a project mainly written in ..., it's free.
A very fresh set of Maven web application archetypes brought to you by MuleSoft
This project is MuleSoft's community contribution and effort to provide several very fresh Maven archetypes for web applications that leverage the Tomcat Maven plugin (preconfigured).
On one line, type the following command, replacing com.mysamplecompany, my-sample-webapp and 1.0-SNAPSHOT as you desire.
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.0-alpha-4:generate
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.mulesoft.archetypes
-DarchetypeArtifactId=tomcat-webapp-archetype
-DarchetypeVersion=1.0.4-SNAPSHOT
-DgroupId=com.mysamplecompany
-DartifactId=my-sample-webapp
-Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT
Change directories into the newly minted folder, and then type mvn tomcat:run. This will build your code and launch the embedded tomcat.
Open your web browser to http://localhost:8080/my-sample-webapp/
This project is hosted in the MuleForge Maven Repository at: http://admin.muleforge.org/projects/maven2
Add this to your Maven settings.xml or repository manager proxies.
