>  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.
