Herve Boutemy commented on ARCHETYPE-318:
-----------------------------------------
Tuomas,
from the description, there seems to be some improvements that could be useful
but I don't really understand your explanations ("transitive properties"?)
and the actual patch is missing tests to better show the new features
If you're ready to work with me, we can probably improve things in next
Archetype plugin version
> <requiredProperty> <defaultValue> not correctly filtered
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARCHETYPE-318
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-318
> Project: Maven Archetype
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Generator
> Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-5
> Reporter: Jochen Ehret
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.x
>
> Attachments: DefaultArchetypeGenerationConfigurator.patch
>
>
> In our archetype-metadata.xml we´ve defined a <requiredProperty> with a
> default value like this:
> {code:xml}<requiredProperty key="subArtifactId">
> <defaultValue>${artifactId}.itest1</defaultValue>
> </requiredProperty>{code}
> When we call "archetype:generate" and enter the parameters in interactive
> mode everything works fine. But when we try to set the parameter
> "subArtifactId" on the command line (mvn archetype:generate
> -DsubArtifactId=xyz) or from an "archetype.properties" file, the value is
> ignored. In the generated pom.xml the variable ${subArtifactId} is always
> replaced with "${artifactId}.itest1".
