Hi, I have a plugin proposition around archetype, any tought ? Some of the features would need some changes in settings.xml Raphaël The proposed plugin defines some goals calling specific lifecycles mapped on internal (to the plugin) goals. public goals: 1. define-project, 2. generate-project, 3. clean-project. internal goals: 1. select-archetype, 2. define-archetype-properties, 3. show-archetype-pom, 4. generate-archetype-project, 5. clean-archetype-properties. define-project public goal This goal calls an internal lifecylce with the internal goals: 1. select-archetype, 2. define-archetype-properties, 3. show-archetype-pom. generate-project public goal This goal calls an internal lifecycle with the internal goals: 1. show-archetype-pom, 2. generate-archetype-project. clean-project public goal This goal calls an internal lifecycle with the internal goals: 1. clean-archetype-properties. select-archetype internal goal This goal: - collects the archetypes from local repository and remote repository. - uses a archetypeGroup property similar to pluginGroup. - displays a list of the collected archetypes and let the user choose one. - finishes by writing the selected archetype reference (groupId:artifactId:version) in the archteype.properties file. If the archetype.properties file exist before the selection, the defined archetype reference is used as default value. define-archetype-properties internal goal This goal: - reads the archetype reference from the archetype.properties file. - reads the archetype.xml (in MEAT-INF/maven/ of archetype artifact) for required and optional properties. - reads the archetypes.properties file to find already defined required and optional properties. - ask user for all the required properties (using the properties defined in archetype.properties as default values). - save the archetype.properties file with the newly defined properties both required and optional. show-archetype-pom internal goal This goal: - reads the archetype reference and the archetype properties from the archetype.properties file. - calls the archetype plugin to generate only the project's pom in the target directory. - display the generate target/pom.xml file to the screen. Use timestamp on archetype.properties and target/pom.xml files to not call teh generation generate-archetype-project internal goal This goal: - reads the archetype reference and the archetype properties from the archetype.properties file. - calls the archetype plugin to generate only the project's pom in the target directory. clean-archetype-properties internal goal This goal: - removes all the archetype.properties lines but the archetype reference.
