Dave Syer commented on ARCHETYPE-31:
------------------------------------
I can see that something has happened because there are a couple of pages of
docos and I can do
mvn clean archetypeng:create-from-project
and see code appear in target/generated-sources/archetypeng. It might even
almost be a valid archetype, but when I install it and then use it I get
Embedded error: The META-INF/maven/archetype.xml descriptor cannot be found.
(Despite the fact that the file exists in the jar. I guess it is somehow
invalid and the error message is unclear?)
The archetype groupId and artifacfId are the same as the project it was created
from (not very useful). I also see target/archetype.properties appearing.
Maybe that's being used to set the archetype pom properties up? Not so you'd
notice. Is this supposed to work? How would I modify the archetype?
Is there going to be some more documentation?
