-------------------------------
Summary: Incompatibities with Velocity in Archetypes
Key: ARCHETYPE-688
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-688
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Archetypes, Generator, Plugin
Affects Versions: 3.3.0
Reporter: Javid
Hello,
I am having an issue caused by the new version of the
maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.0 related with the recent upgrade of velocity 1.7 to
velocity 2.3.
As it is reported in the [Velocity
configuration|https://velocity.apache.org/engine/2.3/upgrading.html#vtl-changes_1],
from version 1.7 to version 2+, the use of hyphens have changed and now they
are not supported in parameters, causing errors.
To avoid this, there is a property that allow backwards compatibility [detailed
here|https://velocity.apache.org/engine/2.3/configuration.html#backward-compatibility],
but I believe there is no way to tell maven-archetype-plugin to allow this
compatibility in the configuration.
I have a very complex project that uses hyphens in multiple instances and now,
it is impossible to generate a project with the new archetype:3.3.0 version.
My problem is that changing the hyphen will cause a major impact in some other
projects that rely on this archetype, so it is not a viable option for me to do.
Could it be possible for you to include a way to modify Velocity configuration
in maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.0? This would be extremely helpful so we can keep
up with the future updates
Thanks in advance!
