This is great to hear. I've been waiting for the "create-from-project"
feature for a long time.

Projects like AppFuse Light (which currently has 60 possible combinations of
web + persistence framework) will greatly benefit from this. I've been
reluctant to create archetypes for each combination because it seemed like a
maintenance nightmare.


Right, you should just be able to take any working project and make an Archetype out of it. Now we will allow for some hinting plug in values you want the user to be able to interpolate but this process of creating archetypes from projects, verifying and deploying them is key.

Soon it will all be possible and I'll do my best to make all the
combinations available as archetypes.

Here's a list of web frameworks and persistence frameworks supported:

* Web Frameworks: JSF (MyFaces), Spring MVC (with Ajax, Acegi Security, JSP, FreeMarker or Velocity), Stripes, Struts 1.x, Struts 2.x, Tapestry,
WebWork, Wicket
* Persistence Frameworks: Hibernate, iBATIS, JDO (JPOX), OJB, Spring
JDBC


Right having to maintain the projects + maintain the archetypes is not feasible.

Cheers,

Matt

Hi,

I've updated the dashboard with some information on Archetype. We're
close to having a seamless solution:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/ArchetypeNG

And it's listed under work in progress on the dashboard.

Once the criteria of Archetype being dead simple to use it will be on
its way back. The goal is to create an Archetype from any project,
verify it, and deploy it on one simple step and we're almost there.
Thanks to Raphael for making Archetype what it was intended to be.

Thanks,

Jason
