Jeff Black commented on ARCHETYPE-70:
-------------------------------------
I would find it more flexible to be able to accept any arbitarty command line
parameter and automatically include that into the velocity map. So the
archetype plugin would have its required and optional parameters, but you could
also include other -D options on the command line with the archetype:create
command, such as -Ddescription=<desc> and -DprojectName=<projectName>.
In short, I want to be able to create a fully templated prototype pom.xml with
no modifications to the archetype plugin.
This would keep the archetype plugin cleaner without having to fork it locally
(or patch and release a new official version) for each develope that adds an
additional parameter requirement.
If this sounds reasonable, I can take a stab at contributing this solution.
Any showstoppers that I would need to be aware of.
