Ok, I managed to get this to work (mostly).
What I did initially that wasn't working was this:
1) I created a new maven project and set it up the way I wanted it to be.
2) I then used archetype:create-from-project to create a new archetype.
3) I went under /target/generated-sources/archetype in my project to see my
generated archetype.
4) In that location I ran mvn install which built and installed the
archetype.
5) I edited the archetype-metadata.xml to remove filtering on all files.
6) I created a new project using archetype:create or archetype:generate
As I stated in previous messages this resulting in the
archetype-metadata.xml file being ignored and all of my project's files
being filtered by velocity.
After a lot of playing around, I noticed that there was a file that was
generated (and not a part of my previous project) underneath this folder:
/src/main/resources/archetype-resources/src/main/resources/META-INF/archetype.xnl.
Note that the extension is xnl (with an n), not xml. I changed this to have
the xml extension and it seems that caused my archetype-metadata file not to
be ingnored. I also have started using only archetype:generate. As of now
running archetype:generate doesn't fail, which is a good start.
I do, however, still have another problem: Every single txt, xml, and java
file in my archetype is being prepended with this:
#set( $symbol_pound = '#' )
#set( $symbol_dollar = '$' )
#set( $symbol_escape = '\' )
This is causing my new project created from the archetype to fail.
This is happening when the archetype is being installed. I'm not sure when
or why, as my archetype-metadata.xml file is supposed to be causing all
files *not* to be filtered:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<archetype-descriptor name="ColdFusion9Beta">
<fileSets>
<fileSet filtered="false" packaged="false">
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*.*</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</archetype-descriptor>
