Dropwizard framework makes web application development easy by putting together a lot of popular Java libraries together. However, a lot of boilerplate is still required to get a quality Dropwizard application setup. This project aims to reduce that work, and thereby save time, for developers.

io.dropwizard.archetypes:java-simplemaven archetype - A Jersey resource
