Christian Schlichtherle commented on ARCHETYPE-475:
---------------------------------------------------
Simply closing an issue because you have already ignored it for too long and
not even allowing me to reopen it is... well... what would you think if I did
that to you?!
> Each template file should have its own Velocity context

> Key: ARCHETYPE-475
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-475
> Project: Maven Archetype
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Generator
> Affects Versions: 2.2
> Reporter: Christian Schlichtherle
> Priority: Minor
>
> Right now, when generating a project from an archetype, all template files
> are merged with the same Velocity context. This has the side effect that
> changes to the Velocity context in one template file are reflected in all
> subsequent template files. Consider the following example:
> {code}
> #set ($foo = "bar")
> {code}
> This is a change to the Velocity context. Once it has been done, it's visible
> in all template files which get subsequently merged with the global Velocity
> context. This is bad because it's unexpected and uncontrollable because users
> have no control over the order of processing.
