provides archetypes for building regular Mule applications, allowing you to develop Mule applications from within Maven

The muleesb-maven-plugin allows you to control Mule ESB instances from within a Maven environment

Building a Mule Application with Maven in Studio : Build a Simple Project1. Drag an HTTP Connector and a Set Payload

Component into your flow as shown in the figure in next slide.

2. Open the connector’s properties editor and Create a new Conector Configuration element by clicking the green plus sign.

3. Fill in the two required fields: Host and Port. Set the host to localhost and leave the port as the default value 8081 as shown in the figure in next slide.

Back in the connecotr’s properties editor, leave the path as the default "/"

Configure the Set Payload component to set the value to "Hello World!", as shown below:

Now try it out by running your project on the embedded server within Anypoint Studio. Click the project name, then Run As > Mule Application.

Open a browser window and go to http://localhost:8081.

You should see a "Hello World!" message in your browser.

Enabling Maven Support for a Studio Project :Get existing Mule project that

was already created in Anypoint Studio and add Maven functionality to it.

Maven can make your project more easily shareable with other developers as it takes care of its dependencies and helps automate your project’s build process.

Mavenizing an Existing Mule Project :

Studio presents a confirmation dialog, warning that although Maven support can later be disabled, this will not reset your project’s classpath. Click Yes to confirm.

Importing a Maven Project into Studio  :If you have a Mule project that was built

using http://maven.apache.org/[Maven] outside Anypoint Studio, you can still import it into Studio and continue to work on it with the benefits of the Studio IDE.

Studio has a built-in functionality to import a Maven project.

In Studio, go to File > Import… Select Mule > Maven-based Mule

Project from pom.xml, then click Next.

Import as shown below :
