Antonel Pazargic commented on ARCHETYPE-274: -------------------------------------------- Any updates on this? > Conditionally include or exclude a file from archetype during generation > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: ARCHETYPE-274 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-274 > Project: Maven Archetype > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Generator > Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-4 > Reporter: Dan Allen > > I would like to be able to control which files are placed into the generated > project based on the value of a property that is defined during > archetype:generate. For instance, I forsee the following prompt: > Define value for groupId: : com.example > Define value for artifactId: : myproject > Define value for package: com.example: : > Define value for extraSupport: : y > Based on the value of extraSupport, I want to include (or not include) a file > in the generated project. If the user does not want the extra support, I > don't want to clutter up the generated project with unnecessary files. > It's all about customization of the project based on what the developer > intends to use. While I could create a whole other archetype, sometimes the > changes are so slight that it would be easier to include/exclude a file. > Is there a way to control this behavior using the archetype-metadata.xml > descriptor? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
