Re: Referencing properties in archetype-metadata.xml
The variable properties are considered invalid reference in
archetype-metadata.xml ..
so one way is to include requiredProperty key=earname/ in
archetype-metadata.xml ..
and the ${earname} can be referenced in properties file (usually under
src/main/resources) in the project ..
http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html#How_do_I_filter_resource_files
has some egs for including reference in properties file .
Thanks

I guess 'enable not to ask' means 'enforce not to ask' :)
Also what about the substitution? Is it impossible to have access to the
default properties (${artifactId} etc) or previous defined properties in
subsequent defaultValue ?

When additional properties are defined that must be valued before the
file
generation. The additional properties can be provided with default
values,
which enable not to ask the user for there values.
So here the value for context-root will not be asked since a default
value
is provided ..

/fileSets
requiredProperties
requiredProperty key=earname/
requiredProperty key=context-root
defaultValue${earname}/defaultValue
/requiredProperty
/requiredProperties
/archetype-descriptor
When I generate this project, I am asked for earname, but never for
context-root, and inside my project files ${context-root} will explode
to
the ${earname} literal.
Any ideas?
