Michael Heuer commented on ARCHETYPE-70: ---------------------------------------- What about the fix for the current version? The patch provided is very simple and causes no problems if a project description parameter is not provided. If it would help get this fix committed, I might also be able to contribute a simple unit test, patches to documentation, etc. > Add project description as a mojo parameter > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARCHETYPE-70 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-70 > Project: Maven Archetype > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Plugin > Reporter: Michael Heuer > Priority: Minor > Attachments: patch.txt > > > For my archetype bundle, I require the project description as a parameter. > I use it in the pom.xml > <description>${description}</description> > in a license HEADER.txt > /* > ${artifactId} ${description} > Copyright ... > in a package.html > <html> > <body> > <p>${description}</p> > </body> > </html> > and so on. > The attached patch to MavenArchetypeMojo.java provides a project description > parameter in addition to project groupId, artifactId, and version: > $ mvn -X archetype:create > -DgroupId=foo > -DartifactId=bar > -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT > -Ddescription="bar description." ... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
