I am certain that I have misinterpreted the meaning of this piece of documentation:
Guide to Creating Archetypes - (http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html) | - 2. Create the archetype descriptor An optional <allowPartial>true</allowPartial> tag makes it possible to run the archetype:create even on existing projects. I thought that this meant that I could create several of my own archetypes and than generate a single project; running the archtype:create command over the generated project several times until the accumulated properties of each archetype were all added to that single project. ****Begin Example**** If I have the following Archetypes installed in M2_REPO: - Java6Archetype - JUnit4Archetype And I create a project called TestLayered Project using the Java6Archetype above and the archetype:create command. I should then be able to run the JUnit4Archetype with the archetype:create command over top of the existing TestLayered Project resulting in a blending of the two archetypes within the TestLayered Project. ****End Example**** This is what I believed the documentation meant by: "An optional <allowPartial>true</allowPartial> tag makes it possible to run the archetype:create even on existing projects." I now realize that this is wrong. Is there anyway to implement this sort of "mixing" and "matching" or "layering" of Archtypes in a single project? Also, what did the documentation mean by the statement above? I read elsewhere that it has something to do with modular builds. Thank you, Andrew J.
