The archetype plugin should be used to generate new equanda project from template.
It can be executed by the following command (all on one line) :
mvn equanda:archetype
-DgroupId=com.mycompany -DartifactId=example
-DarchetypeVersion=0.9 -DarchetypeGroupId=org.equanda -DarchetypeArtifactId=equanda-maven-plugin

The other parameters can either be specified on the commandline using the "-Dkey=value" syntax, or you can put them in a file called "equanda-project.properties". This file itself can be changed by using something like "-DpropertiesFile=myprops.properties".
Possible parameters (those in bold are required) are :
