Slawomir Jaranowski commented on ARCHETYPE-688:
-----------------------------------------------
Please provide a stack trace where Velocity is used .... or a simple project to
reproduce.
We have in place an compatibility configuration:
[https://github.com/apache/maven-archetype/blob/master/archetype-common/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/archetype/VelocityConfigurator.java]
> Incompatibities with Velocity in Archetypes
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARCHETYPE-688
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-688
> Project: Maven Archetype
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Archetypes, Generator, Plugin
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Reporter: Javid
> Priority: Major
>
> Hello,
> I am having an issue caused by the new version of the
> maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.0 related with the recent upgrade of velocity 1.7
> to velocity 2.3.
> As it is reported in the [Velocity
> configuration|https://velocity.apache.org/engine/2.3/upgrading.html#vtl-changes_1],
> from version 1.7 to version 2+, the use of hyphens have changed and now they
> are not supported in parameters, causing errors.
> To avoid this, there is a property that allow backwards compatibility
> [detailed
> here|https://velocity.apache.org/engine/2.3/configuration.html#backward-compatibility],
> but I believe there is no way to tell maven-archetype-plugin to allow this
> compatibility in the configuration.
> I have a very complex project that uses hyphens in multiple instances and
> now, it is impossible to generate a project with the new archetype:3.3.0
> version.
> My problem is that changing the hyphen will cause a major impact in some
> other projects that rely on this archetype, so it is not a viable option for
> me to do.
> Could it be possible for you to include a way to modify Velocity
> configuration in maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.0? This would be extremely
> helpful so we can keep up with the future updates
> Thanks in advance!
