The Citrus Maven plugin offers creating of test cases as well as generation of test suites from XSD or WSDL files.

The Maven archetypes generate basic Citrus projects with default directory layout and sample configurations according to a use case scenario. This is the best way to get a Citrus project started.

If you want to compile and build the citrus-tools locally you need to also have the latest SNAPSHOT version of Citrus core repo built on that machine. This is because the Maven archetypes and site plugins reference the latest SNAPSHOT versions of Citrus. Just clone and build and install the Citrus core repo locally before doing so with the citrus-tools.
