Have a custom packaging type for achetypes
------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-302
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-302
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Creator
Reporter: Hardy Ferentschik
Currently if you want to create an archetype from a existing project you need a
two step process. First you have to run 'mvn archetype:create-from-project' and
then you have to install/deploy the archetype generated in
{{target/generated-sources/archetype}}. Wouldn't it be possible to have a new
packaging type, eg archetype?
For example, imagine you have an aggregator (multi module) project, where one
module is supposed to be the template for the archetype. When you
deploy/release the whole project you would like the archetype creation be part
of the the 'mvn deploy' or 'mvn release:perform' process. Currently you will
have to go through the mentioned two step process.
Thoughts?
