 We also assume that your environment has sourced in the ONOS tools (scripts), as described here.

Application Set Up

The quickest way to get started is to use the maven archetypes to create the application source directory structure and fill it with template code. You can get more details here, but to summarize(More details can be found here). We are going to create a sample application, which we will call, unsurprisingly, "sample":

(0) Create a working directory

$ mkdir customsample
$ cd customsample

(1) Create the main application

$ onos-create-app app org.meowster.app.customsample meowster-customsample

When asked for the version, accept the suggested default: 1.0-SNAPSHOT, and press enter.

...

groupId: org.meowster.app.customsample
artifactId: meowster-customsample
version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
package: org.meowster.app.custom.sample

This archetype has laid the base application code down, in a directory named meowster-sample. Next we will fold in UI components from an overlay archetype...

(2) Overlay the UI additional components

Note, the only difference between this command and the last is changing the "app" keyword to "ui"...

$ onos-create-app ui org.meowster.app.customsample meowster-customsample

When asked for the version, accept the suggested default: 1.0-SNAPSHOT, and press enter.
