Create a JAX-RS maven project and import it into Eclipse

See updated instructions here in this other post

---

The following instructions work but are Not Recommended since modifying the pom.xml would be useless since those modifications will not be reflected in Eclipse project :(

1. Create the skeleton
   Instructions taken from Stackoverflow - Maven 3 failed to execute goal apache ...

   mvn archetype:generate \
       -DgroupId={project-packaging} \
       -DartifactId={project-name} \
       -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp \
       -DinteractiveMode=false
   

   That will create a {project-name} directory with the contents:

   .
   ├── pom.xml
   └── src
       └── main
           ├── java (This directory will contain all the source code, must be created manually)
           ├── resources
           └── webapp
               ├── WEB-INF
               │   └── web.xml
               └── index.jsp
   

2. Import it into eclipse
   File → Import → Existing Projects into Workspace and then select {project-name} directory. Once imported, go to project properties and do the following settings:
   1. Setup the facets
      Instructions taken from this article from OPENTONE and adapted for my needs
      • Java 1.8
      • Dynamic Web Project 3.1
      • JAX-RS 2.0
      • Javascript will be selected automatically later. It is not necessary to explicitly select it here
      
   2. Setup the target runtime
      Select "WebSphere Liberty Profile"
