                 Key: MTOMCAT-124
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT-124
             Project: Apache Tomcat Maven Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-1
            Reporter: patrick garcia
            Priority: Trivial


I found several problems on the superb and very useful "tomcat-maven-archetype"

The improvement I propos are the followings:

1/
"groupId" and "version" can have default values but should be prompt for user 
value the same way as for "version" of 
"org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.1"


"org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.1" proposes a default 
"version" and prompt the user for modification at the same time. Pressing enter 
validate the default value.



2/
Following variables are not in used:
        artifactId-api
        artifactId-api-impl
        artifactId-webapp
        artifactId-webapp-exec
        artifactId-webapp-it

This variables should impact the "mvn archetype:generate" behaviour



3/
I propos to change the default values of :
        artifactId-api = ${artifactId}-api
        artifactId-api-impl = ${artifactId}-api-impl
        artifactId-webapp = ${artifactId}-webapp
        artifactId-webapp-exec = ${artifactId}-webapp-exec
        artifactId-webapp-it = ${artifactId}-webapp-it


4/
rootArtifactId cat be renamed as artifactId with no default value



I will propos patches for this later. I, first, have to understand "archetype" 
framework.
