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.
