Tuomas Kiviaho commented on ARCHETYPE-318: ------------------------------------------ I see that there is a property-setting-cli that could be converted to batch mode test quite easily. The required property in the declaration is a good permutation to begin with and both cli and batch mode should contain also more deeply nested property referencing scenarios. (a=${b},b=${c},c=foobar). > <requiredProperty> <defaultValue> not correctly filtered > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARCHETYPE-318 > URL: https://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 > Fix For: 2.x > > Attachments: DefaultArchetypeGenerationConfigurator.patch > > > In our archetype-metadata.xml we´ve defined a <requiredProperty> with a > default value like this: > {code:xml}<requiredProperty key="subArtifactId"> > <defaultValue>${artifactId}.itest1</defaultValue> > </requiredProperty>{code} > When we call "archetype:generate" and enter the parameters in interactive > mode everything works fine. But when we try to set the parameter > "subArtifactId" on the command line (mvn archetype:generate > -DsubArtifactId=xyz) or from an "archetype.properties" file, the value is > ignored. In the generated pom.xml the variable ${subArtifactId} is always > replaced with "${artifactId}.itest1". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
