Default value like property 'version' at 2.0-alpha-3
----------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-196
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-196
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: New Feature
Environment: windows xp sp2; java sun 1.6.0_07; maven 2.0.9
Reporter: Marcelo Romulo Fernandes
If I define a requiredProperty at archetype-metadata.xml without a
defaultValue (example: <requiredProperty key="copyright"/>), the value of the
property is prompted when I run mvn
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.0-alpha-3:generate. If I
input nothing (just hit an enter), the process fails.
If I define a requiredProperty at archetype-metadata.xml with a
defaultValue (example: <requiredProperty key="copyright" defaultValue="Basegen
2008"/>), when I run mvn
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.0-alpha-3:generate the value
of the property is not prompted anymore and process assumes the defaultValue.
I wish a way to the command mvn
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.0-alpha-3:generate prompt a
value to the requiredProperty and a default value is assumed if nothing is
typed (just hit an enter). At version 2.0-alpha-3, this happens with property
'version': if i just press enter, the process assumes the value '1.0-SNAPSHOT'.
