Hi there, I have been exploring the 2.0-alpha-3 release of the maven-archetype-plugin. Understanding that it is still in alpha release stages I wanted to try it out. I defined a project, (a simple web project) and then ran the following command:
mvn archetype:create-from-project -Dinteractive=true As expected I was asked to define properties and then I was shown my input and asked to confirm it before the new archetype was generated. When I went to inspect the generated sources I found that my new property values were ignored and the default values where copied from the example project over into the archetype pom.xml file, (properties such as groupId and artifactId). So for example my example project was called 'my-webapp' and I wanted an arcetype based on that project to be call 'mycompany-archetype-webapp', but instead it had an artifactId of 'my-webapp'. Is this a know problem? I have looked around but was not able to find anything. When interacting with the plugin I was shown the following property keys archetype.groupId archetype.artifactId archetype.version version package groupId artifactId I was then asked to confirm the assigned values, but it was a bit confusing because I didn't know which keys created specific changes for the newly generated sources. While executing the plugin I changed all of the keys above to have new values, but still the newly generated archetype contained the default values as explained previous. Would anyone be able to explaing the properties and how they impact the newly generated sources? Also is this expected behaviour for the current state of the plugin? I really like what the plugin but this just throw me because I could generate something, but it would still need a bit of manual intervention after generation to make the new archetype 100%.
