David Scourfield updated ARCHETYPE-538:
---------------------------------------
Description:
Let's say I define a value for groupId, artifactId, version, and a handful of
custom properties via the interactive prompt when using archetype:generate, but
at the confirmation stage I notice a mistake and hit 'N'. I've now got to
retype everything again, which is extremely annoying.
When the second prompt appears, default values should now be the values which
were entered above, allowing the user to just hit ENTER for the values that
were correctly entered last time around.
This is especially frustrating given custom required properties which have
default values that can't be edited during the first prompt (see ARCHETYPE-308)
as you may enter a handful of correct values, but then need to choose N at the
end to alter the default value of a property that you weren't allowed to enter
a value for first time around.
