Setting required properties when instantiating archetype from execution in
pom.xml
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-218
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-218
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin
Reporter: Florian Motlik
Priority: Minor
Attachments: patch, pom.xml
When calling archetype:generate from an execution in the pom there is no
possibility to set required properties of the Archetype. So when for testing
purposes you are trying to use the archetype for creating a new project,
package and compile it it won't work, because required properties are not set.
Workaround would be to define default values for all required fields, but this
is a NoGo.
A solution for the Problem would be to have an environment String in the
CreateProjectFromArchetypeMojo Class which points to a Properties File. This
Properties file contains the correct values for the Archetype. They are loaded
into executionProperties, so as if they were given over command line. If no
environment is given they are simply not loaded.
