achetype:create-from-project goal does not generate new groupId and artifactId
for new archetype
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-188
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-188
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugin
Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-3
Environment: Maven version: 2.0.9
Java version: 1.6.0_06
OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows"
Reporter: Trent Rosenbaum
The 'archetype:create-from-project' goal when used does not generate the
correct values for the groupId and the artifactId of the new archetype being
created.
Instead the values from the original maven structured project serialized into
the new pom.xml for the newly generated archetype. This means that the new
archetype when installed within the artifact repository will occupy the space
of the original project. The original project values are are used during the
creation process regardless of whether the user has specified to use the plugin
through interactive mode.
I started out with a new maven project generated from the quickstart archetype.
The pom.xml file contained the following values
groupId: com.mycompany.example
artifactId: myapp
I executed
mvn archetype:create-from-project -Dinteractive=true
The 'archetype:create-from-project' goal reported the following values back to
me
archetype.groupId=com.mycompany.example
archetype.artifactId=myapp-archetype
archetype.version=1.0-SNAPSHOT
version=1.0-SNAPSHOT
package=com.mycompany.example.myapp
groupId=com.mycompany.example
artifactId=myapp
I expected to see a newly generated archetype project with the following value
within the pom.xml file
groupId: com.mycompany.example
artifactId: myapp-archetype
Instead I was left with a generated archetype that contained a pom.xml file
with the following values
groupId: com.mycompany.example
artifactId: myapp
No matter how I interact with the plugin goal I cannot pass through the correct
value for the groupId and artifactId elements. I have even tried adding
additional properties with the same keys with the aim of overwriting the
generated values. This still resulted in an incorrect pom.xml. After
generation I had to manually change the values before running 'mvn install'.
