Create Quarkus Maven Project
Create a new Quarkus Maven project through SDKMAN-managed tooling, aligned with Java 25 and the repository's Quarkus 3.x baseline.
What is covered in this Skill?
- Verify SDKMAN and Java availability before project creation
- Install or select the required Java and Quarkus CLI candidates through SDKMAN
- Gather project coordinates, package name, Java version, extensions, and target directory
- Create a Maven project with the Quarkus CLI
- Prefer Maven wrapper commands for validation
- Verify the generated project with Maven before reporting completion
Constraints
Project creation must be explicit, reproducible, and Maven-based.
- PREREQUISITE: Verify SDKMAN is installed with
sdk version; if missing, stop and provide setup guidance instead of installing it silently
- JAVA BASELINE: Prefer Java 25 unless the user requests another supported version
- FRAMEWORK BASELINE: Target the current Quarkus 3.x line by default
- BUILD TOOL: Generate a Maven project, not Gradle
- SAFETY: Do not overwrite an existing non-empty target directory without explicit user confirmation
- VERIFY: Run
./mvnw clean verify from the generated project when the Maven wrapper exists; otherwise run mvn clean verify
- BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for the full SDKMAN and Quarkus CLI workflow
When to use this skill
- Create a Quarkus Maven project
- Bootstrap Quarkus project with SDKMAN
- Generate a new Quarkus service
- Create Quarkus 3 Maven project
- Scaffold Quarkus service with Java 25
Workflow
- Read reference and gather project inputs
Read references/400-frameworks-quarkus-create-project.md, then gather project directory, group, artifact, package name, Java version, and desired Quarkus extensions.
- Verify SDKMAN-managed tooling
Check SDKMAN, Java, and Quarkus CLI availability. Install or switch candidates only after confirming the intended versions with the user.
- Create the Maven project
Use the Quarkus CLI to create a Maven project, keeping extensions explicit and the Quarkus 3.x baseline as the default.
- Verify and report
Run Maven verification in the generated project and summarize commands used, selected options, generated path, and any follow-up setup.
