Konrad Windszus updated ARCHETYPE-457: -------------------------------------- Affects Version/s: 2.2 > Clarify documentation around module.name and module.dir > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARCHETYPE-457 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-457 > Project: Maven Archetype > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Reporter: Konrad Windszus > > From the reference at > https://maven.apache.org/archetype/archetype-models/archetype-descriptor/archetype-descriptor.html#class_module > is is unclear how the attribute name is evaluated. For me the following > behaviour would make sense > - dir: the name of the source directory (from which the new module will be > created) > - name: the name of the module directory (destination). Usually is equivalent > to artifactId. Currently the name does not seem to be evaluated at all. > That way no placeholder replacement on the weird syntax __<property>__ would > need to take place on the dir entry, but rather that would just specify from > where to copy the files for the module (this can always be hardcoded). The > placeholder mechanism (i.e. the regular one with the $ syntax would then only > be necessary on id and name attributes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
