Andrew Waterman commented on ARCHETYPE-55:
------------------------------------------
It would definitely be nice to be able to add custom properties into the
velocity templating system. I may have to write a mini plugin to do this work
for me, as the archetype is missing this needed functionality.
> Maven archetype plugin ignores system properties
> ------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARCHETYPE-55
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-55
> Project: Maven Archetype
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Plugin
> Affects Versions: 1.0-alpha-4
> Reporter: Ceki Gulcu
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: optional-system-properties-v2.diff,
> optional-system-properties.diff
>
>
> When it passes a property map to velocity context, the archetype plugin
> passes the values of the properties basedir, package,
> packageName, groupId, artifactId, and version ignoring other properties, in
> particular system properties. In the context of our
> project, we would like the archetype plugin to substitute the values of
> system properties during the file generation based on templates.
> It would take very little effort to add the system properties to the map
> passed to Velocity context.
> Moreover, only a single file, namely MavenArchetypeMojo.java in
> maven-archetype-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/archetype/
> need to be modified.
> As far as I understand it, the change can be accomplished with a single line
> of code:
> map.putAll(System.getProperties());
> Would you consider adding the above line to MavenArchetypeMojo.java?
> Many thanks in advance,
