What archetype to choose for a simple java project

I'm using command like below:

mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=org.apache.maven.archetypes:

I will get a short list of achetypes only from org.apache.maven.archetypes groupId. The good ones for starting is maven-archetype-quickstart and maven-archetype-webapp like my predecessors said.


I use two archetypes. It depends on what kind of application you will create.

If you want a web application, use maven-archetype-webapp, or if you want a simple application use maven-archetype-quickstart. They are useful because you will be able to expand them with no problem.
