use groovy templates to generate files --------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-155 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-155 Project: Maven Archetype Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Ittay Dror velocity is really poor for creating templates. in my case, i have some rules for generating parent pom group/artifact ids from the current groupid, which is awkward to do in velocity (if possible, i didn't try). also, some parts need to be generated based on values passed by the user, and i want to signal errors if the values he passed are not correct. using groovy is very easy. maybe a parameter in archetype.xml? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
