Maven Archetype to generate a starter project for the Algorithms Course taught by Robert Sedgewick and Keving Wayne, available for free in Coursera.

Using the Archetype

You will need to have algs4.jar in your local Maven Repository.

There are some videos I have prepared to assist you in the process.

1. In this video you can learn how to use the jar tool (Arriving with the JDK) to extract .zip files.
2. In this video you see how to install the aforementioned library in your local maven repository, the official code repository for the aforementioned library can be found here. If you want a shortcut you can use curl -O https://lift.cs.princeton.edu/java/linux/lift-cli.zip to download the file containing the .jar file, find algs4.jar in the folder lift/lib/algs4.jar Once you have extracted the content from lift-cli.zip
3. Clone this repository
4. Change directory to the recently cloned repository.
5. Execute mvn clean install
6. Execute mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local
7. Follow the instructions, that is, answer the questions the above command will ask you.
