Nicolas Dupont created ARCHETYPE-398:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Use velocity expressions in path names
Key: ARCHETYPE-398
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-398
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Plugin
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Nicolas Dupont
In required properties in an archetype descriptor, you can use expressions such
as :
<requiredProperty key="className">
<defaultValue>${rootArtifactId.substring(0,1).toUpperCase()}${rootArtifactId.substring(1)}</defaultValue>
</requiredProperty>
But you can't in a path name (e.g. you can't name a folder as
__rootArtifactId.substring(1)__).
For such a case, another solution would be the ability to store a hidden value
(not visible by the user who generates a project) in the Velocity context and
to able to use it in a path name (e.g. define somewhere MyFolderName as
rootArtifactId.substring(1) and then use __MyFolderName__ as a folder name).
