Wendy: This is funny you recommended AppFuse. I just became one of the developers there today and I've been in discussion with Matt Raible tonight about just using the archetype to start the AppFuse structure and then bringing in the dependent pieces by configuring your POM afterward.

I'm sure you could build something on top of archetypes, but as it stands they're fairly limited. You can create a single module and it will get hooked into the surrounding build (the right <parent>, added to that parent's <modules>, etc.) Anything past that (such as a multi-module archetype) is hard to do. I'm not sure if that's intentional, or just "not finished yet." I'd like to hear what the developers have in mind for it. Meanwhile, have you looked at AppFuse? -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
