1. Install the archetype in your repository

mvn clean install

2. Create a project using blazeds-spring archetype from the local archetype repository

mvn archetype:generate -DartifactId=<your artifactId> -DarchetypeCatalog=local

mvn archetype:generate -DartifactId=<your artifactId> -DarchetypeCatalog=http://maven-blazeds-spring-archetype.googlecode.com/svn/maven2/

mvn clean install-DtemplateURI=folder:html-template

The reason we must have -DtemplateURI when doing mvn install at master-pom level is the default templateURI is folder:../html-template which is relative to the app-flex folder, while at master-pom level, the default value is no longer valid

• You can debug Java code by running tomcat under Debug mode
• Or you can debug Flex Application by running Flex Application in Debug mode
