Create initial project structure about starter HOT 6 CLOSED

I would create a similar structure as the Microprofile generator (and using templating to generate the content)

But I would like to create a multimodule project structure with core, frontend and REST API (as the MP starter was initially before the initial upload)

Hello @rdebusscher .
Yeah, the idea is still use templating to generate the examples as MP generator does .

I have no problem in setup a multimodule project. I think we can do it in the first commit.

Thinking a little bit more about this, @rdebusscher , do you know if there is a reason why they rolled it back from multimodules? Maybe it's worth for us to understand why they did it and analyze if we should go the same way or not.

The decision to use a single project at the start of MP starter was made out of simplicity. At that point, only a JSF frontend was planned and thus no separate core module needed.

The idea of accessing the starter via REST API came a year later.

Got it. I'll create the multimodule structure then. Since it's the beggining of the project that's not much risky if we decide to remove one of them

as of https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21695, i'll checkout the initial structure to the repo and close this issue. With this we will be able to fork the repository.
