> Dynamic runtime property values for resource filtering
> ------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARCHETYPE-374
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-374
> Project: Maven Archetype
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Generator
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Marc Szewczyk
>
> When generating a new project from an archetype, it does not seem to be
> possible to populate the properties used by the Velocity engine with dynamic
> runtime values, other than the ones that are automatically provided by Java
> system properties.
> What would be ideal is to have some hook in -- some events or something --
> that would allow us to run arbitrary Java code packaged with the archetype
> JAR. But some mechanism is desired to be able to assign a dynamic value to
> the properties so that, for example, a timestamp or a dynamically-generated
> ID could be inserted into a filtered archetype-resource file when the project
> is generated from the archetype.
> Supporting Java expressions in the requiredProperties in the
> archetype-descriptor might be one way to do it. So, for example:
> <requiredProperties>
> <requiredProperty key="current-date">
> <dynamicInit>new Date()</dynamicInit>
> </requiredProperty>
> </requiredProperties>
