Krzysztof Cislo commented on ARCHETYPE-318: ------------------------------------------- It would be perfect if we can used not only pure variable but also other Velocity syntax (as far as archetype is somehow based on Velocity). E.g.: I want to set module name to generate exampled module with a class. I set property wit h value "test" which is used for package name but for class name I have to set "Test" so first letter has to be changed to upper case. Of course I can use two properties but it is much easier for somebody who use my archetype to set only one. > <requiredProperty> <defaultValue> not correctly filtered > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARCHETYPE-318 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-318 > Project: Maven Archetype > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Generator > Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-5 > Reporter: Jochen Ehret > Priority: Minor > > In our archetype-metadata.xml we´ve defined a <requiredProperty> with a > default value like this: > <requiredProperty key="subArtifactId"> > <defaultValue>${artifactId}.itest1</defaultValue> > </requiredProperty> > When we call "archetype:generate" and enter the parameters in interactive > mode everything works fine.
