genrate goal to execute additional goals from archetype pom
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ARCHETYPE-269
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-269
             Project: Maven Archetype
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Generator
            Reporter: Dominik Bartholdi


The following works:
$> mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local  -Dgoals=antrun:run
But this has some major disadvantages:
- The configuration of the goal has to be defined in the final POM of the new 
project
- The user using the archetype has to know about the additional parameter

It would be a big imovement if the a creator of an archetype could define some 
additional goals to be executed after the creation of the new project. THe 
documentation for 'generate' tells this about the 'goals' parameter: 
'Additional goals that can be specified by the user during the creation of the 
archetype'. But it does not tell how the creator could define additonal goals.
