Rob Manning commented on ARCHETYPE-216:
---------------------------------------
I'll take you up on your offer for an explanation. I think I understand the
motivation for this issue. Perhaps it is just a misunderstanding of the
documentation, or perhaps there is a missing feature here. I want to create an
archetype that let's me give an alternative default value for the package; one
that is different from the value specified as the groupId. Here is an example
of the problem as I see it. Issue the following maven command:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=net.sf.squirrel-sql.plugins
-DarchetypeArtifactId=squirrelsql-plugin-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=3.3.0-rc2
It will prompt you for the groupId and suppose you enter
"net.sf.squirrel-sql.plugins"
Next it will prompt you for artifactId and version, specify whatever I don't
care.
However, the next prompt is:
Define value for property 'package': net.sf.squirrel-sql.plugins: :
Here is where the archetype plugin takes a bad turn. You see, Maven groupIds
prefer dashes ("-"), but the Java compiler forbids dashes in package names.
Yet the archetype plugin simply spits out what the user gave as the groupId.
Ok, so how do I configure the archetype to let me override the default value
for property "package" ?
Like I said, it could just be a documentation issue, as I simply don't see how
you specify this override for maven required properties. I suspect the
original poster attempted to list "groupId", "artifactId", "version", and/or
"package" in the "requiredProperties" section of the archetype-metadata.xml
file and ran into this exception. Is this supported now ?
