Herve Boutemy commented on ARCHETYPE-495:
-----------------------------------------
for such internal API, no strong strategy: the only question is to know if this
could cause an issue for an IDE plugin, for example
and even for that, I suppose we could add a deprecated class extending the new
one to mimic the old API
> rename ArchetypeGenerator.generateArchetype() to
> ProjectGenerator.generateProject()
