Please do to step #1 of Weblogic Tip #1

Create the Weblogic domain

Add the following snippet to your POM.

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.oracle.weblogic</groupId>
                <artifactId>wls-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>12.1.2.0</version>
            </plugin>
        <plugins>
    </build>
    <properties>
        <adminurl>t3://localhost:7001</adminurl>
        <domainHome>C:/Wls12.1.2/user_projects/domains/mydomain</domainHome>
        <middlewareHome>C:/Wls12.1.2</middlewareHome>
        <weblogicHome>C:/Wls12.1.2/wlserver</weblogicHome>
        <user>admin</user>
        <password>yourpassword</password>
        <name>${project.build.finalName}</name>
        <failOnError>false</failOnError>
        <timeout>60</timeout>
    </properties>
        

Note this blog entry assumes WLS 12.1.2, so replace it with the appropriate version where necessary.

Now in the root directory of the project you can issue the following to create the domain:

    mvn -N com.oracle.weblogic:wls-maven-plugin:create-domain -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom
        

This will create the domain in C:/Wls12.1.2/user_projects/domains/mydomain
