Using custom properties in archetypes

[Andre Dantas Rocha]

Hi all,

 

Is that possible to use custom properties during the archetype creation?

 

My pom.xml has the structure below and I'm typing mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeArtifactId=myArchetypeName  -DsystemName=XXXX, but the
"systemName" property is ignored...

 

<project>

  ...

  <properties>

    <systemName>MySystem</systemName>

  </properties>

  ...

  <name>${systemName}</name>

  ...

</project>

 

How can I do this?

 

Thanks,

 

Andre
