Raphaël Piéroni commented on ARCHETYPE-70:
------------------------------------------
IIRC, one can find this information in the documentation
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin
So first one can create an archetype by:
- creating a sample project which that will turned into an archetype
- call mvn archetype:create-from-project in the directory (with
-Darchetype.properties=... with a property file contains the key=value pairs of
properties or with -Dinteractive=true to enable the question mode)
- go to the target/generated-sources/archetype directory
- call mvn install
Then use that archetype by:
- going to a fresh directory (without a pom.xml)
- call mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local
- the values are asked by the plugin (but first defaulted to the initial values)
Also, this feature is not available to archetype:create (whith is here only for
backward compatibility with old (without additional property) archetypes)
