Herve Boutemy updated ARCHETYPE-398:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
In required properties in an archetype descriptor, you can use expressions such 
as :
{code:xml}<requiredProperty key="className">
<defaultValue>${rootArtifactId.substring(0,1).toUpperCase()}${rootArtifactId.substring(1)}</defaultValue>
</requiredProperty>{code}

But you can't in a path name (e.g. you can't name a folder as 
{{\_\_rootArtifactId.substring(1)\_\_}}).

For such a case, another solution would be the ability to store a hidden value 
(not visible by the user who generates a project) in the Velocity context and 
to able to use it in a path name (e.g. define somewhere MyFolderName as 
rootArtifactId.substring(1) and then use {{\_\_MyFolderName\_\_}} as a folder 
name).
