Hardy Ferentschik commented on ARCHETYPE-302:
---------------------------------------------
{quote}The idea when you've created once the archetype from a sample project is
to put the generated source tree in your scm and start improving it: the
archetype project is a full project see maven-archetype-bundles svn to see it
in action{quote}
I think there is my problem. If I check in the sources generated by
'archetype:create-from-project' the java files become template files which
means that IDEs cannot parse/import the project sources. However, having the
archetype sources as "normal" project helps to maintain the archetype, since
API changes etc can easily be refactored.

Or you're in the case where the archetype automatically created from a project
is always sufficient.

The whole purpose of the module I have is to be the template of the archetype,
so yes it would be sufficient. Well, I would like to make some modifications to
the pom, but the sources are correct.
