An Education Systems (ES) project will typically consist of 2 Maven artifacts. These Maven artifacts are:

  1.   Only one Maven WAR artifact which contains all the WEB facing (i.e. jsp's, controllers, css, js, ...) components of the ES project.
  2.   At least one Maven JAR artifact which contains all the support (i.e. services, daos, hibernate mapping, ...) components of the ES project.
    The following are the instructions on how the create and configure an ES Maven WAR or Maven JAR project.
