Was also thinking about using some kind of xsl transform to generate the archetype pom. I will take a look this evening how xml-maven-plugin works.

Somehow we need to get the parents versions in the deploy of the archetype. We may want to look into doing some "magic" with <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>xml-maven-plugin</artifactId> We used it in sobu to generate the i18n resource files based on xml, so we could use a archetype base.xml + xsl trans = final pom.xml This way we only need to keep in sync which deps we need the version would be taken from the parent.pom.xml. wdyt? -- Thorsten Scherler<scherler.at.gmail.com> codeBusters S.L. - web based systems <consulting, training and solutions> http://www.codebusters.es/
