David Scourfield created ARCHETYPE-538:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: When re-entering property values after answering 'N' to 
confirm properties configuration during archetype:generate, prompts should 
default to the previously-entered values.
                 Key: ARCHETYPE-538
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-538
             Project: Maven Archetype
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: David Scourfield


Let's say I define a value for groupId, artifactId, version, and a handful of 
custom properties via the interactive prompt when using archetype:generate, but 
at the confirmation stage I notice a mistake and hit 'N'.  I've now got to 
retype everything again, which is extremely annoying.

When the second prompt appears, default values should now be those which were 
previously entered, allowing the user to just hit ENTER for the values that 
were correctly entered last time around.

This is especially frustrating given custom required properties which have 
default values that can't be edited during the first prompt (see ARCHETYPE-308) 
as you may enter a handful of correct values, but then need to choose N at the 
end to alter the default value of a property that you weren't allowed to enter 
a value for first time around.
