Quiz Game - Part 01

Create a new Maven project for a Quiz Game. At this point, it should contain only one module (i.e., only one pom.xml file). Lesson after lesson, we will add new features to it. We start from setting up Maven and modelling the application's data.

The Maven project should have the following dependencies:

• org.hibernate:hibernate-core
• org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine
• com.h2database:h2

Note: the dependencies above are specified with the format groupId:artifactId. When adding a dependency, not only you need to also specify a version, but also the appropriate scope.

Configure the maven-compiler-plugin to use a specific version of Java (e.g., Java 1.8).

Create 3 entity classes:

• Category: with a numeric id, and a String name
• SubCategory: with a numeric id, and a String name
• Quiz: with a numeric id, a String question, 4 String answers, and a numeric index representing the correct answer

Add a persistence.xml configuration, enabling Hibernate and H2 with locally handled transactions.

Write a QuizEntityTest class, where you should have a test called testQuiz where you create a Quiz object, and persist it into the H2 database. Verify that the quiz can be saved into the database.

Solutions to this exercise can be found in the intro/exercise-solutions/quiz-game/part-01 module.

Note: the solution module quiz-game-part01 is NOT self-contained, as it does have a <parent> tag, and a reference to jee-provided-dependencies. When you create your own Maven project, you should not use any <parent> tag, nor use any SNAPSHOT dependency from this repository. You can of course use dependencies from Maven Central.
