Hi Jason,
Your need is not currently taken in the archetype plugin which assumes
that sub-modules are refered in <modules/> in the parent.
Please raise a Jira.

> Hello again maven-archetype gurus.

> I am working on an archetype where the generated project should have the
> following structure:
>
> foo
> |-- pom.xml
> |-- src
> | |-- test
> | | `-- java
> | `-- main
> | `-- java
> `-- foo-system-tests
> |-- pom.xml
> `-- src
> `-- test
> `-- java
>
> The idea is that the main project 'foo' will have its code and unit tests in
> the top-level module, and there will be a separate module 'foo-system-tests'
> that contains integration tests for foo. Because 'foo' produces an actual JAR
> artifact, its packaging type must be "jar" and it therefore cannot have any
> submodules in the strict sense of having <module> elements in its POM.
> Therefore I've crafted the POMs such that the top-level foo pom.xml would
> invoke the integration tests via the maven-invoker-plugin instead.
>
> The problem is that even though this structure should work fine in a Maven
> build, the archetype plugin fails when it tries to generate the project with
> this structure, because it attempts to add the 'foo-system-tests' subdirectory
> to the top-level POM as a <module>. This fails because the top-level POM is
> packaging=jar instead of packaging=pom.
>
> I presume this is happening because I have declared the foo-system-tests
> subdirectory as a module in the archetype-metadata.xml:
>
> <module id="${rootArtifactId}-system-tests"
> dir="__rootArtifactId__-system-tests"
> name="${rootArtifactId}-system-tests">
>
> My intent is that whatever the user chooses for the artifactId when generating
> the project will result in the ${artifactId}-system-tests subdirectory being
> created. I don't really want it to be added as a <module> to the top-level
> POM, however, since that results in a failure. Is it possible to accomplish
> what I am attempting with the maven-archetype-plugin?
>
> Thanks for any help you can provide.
