 * [Apache Maven Shade Plugin » 3.x](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-shade-plugin) 
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+This archetype is available from [HdM / MI](https://maven.mi.hdm-stuttgart.de) to Maven by configuring
+a file `~/.m2/settings.xml` with `~` denoting your home folder:
+
+```
+<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
+  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
+  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
+
+  <profiles>
+    <profile>
+      <id>development</id>
+      <repositories>
+        <repository>
+          <id>archetypeMI</id>
+	      <name>Supplementary MI archetypes and artifacts</name>
+          <url>https://maven.mi.hdm-stuttgart.de/nexus/repository/mi-maven</url>
+          <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
+          <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
+        </repository>
+      </repositories>
+    </profile>
+  </profiles>
+
+  <activeProfiles>
+    <activeProfile>development</activeProfile>
+  </activeProfiles>
+
+</settings>
+```
+Caution to Windows users: Creating `settings.xml` might result in actually creating `settings.xml.txt`
+due to  Microsoft's infameous default »Hide extensions for known file types« setting. You are strongly
+advised to [turn this off](https://www.thewindowsclub.com/show-file-extensions-in-windows).
+
+## Usage
+
+Create an new project:
+
+```
+mvn --batch-mode -e archetype:generate -DgroupId=de.hdm_stuttgart.mi.sd1 \
+  -DartifactId=first -Dversion=0.9 -DarchetypeGroupId=de.hdm_stuttgart.mi \
+  -DarchetypeArtifactId=mi-maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=2.2
+```
+
+## Details
+
+Three sample classes and one corresponding Junit test class are being provided:
+
+### `App.java` and `AppTest.java`
+
+Featuring a Junit test and logging by log4j.
+
+### HighlightSample.java
+
+Featuring [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org) for code highlighting being configured in the`pom.xml`
