Herve Boutemy updated ARCHETYPE-274:
------------------------------------
Component/s: (was: Archetypes)
Generator
> Conditionally include or exclude a file from archetype during generation
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARCHETYPE-274
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-274
> Project: Maven Archetype
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Generator
> Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-4
> Reporter: Dan Allen
>
> I would like to be able to control which files are placed into the generated
> project based on the value of a property that is defined during
> archetype:generate. For instance, I forsee the following prompt:
> Define value for groupId: : com.example
> Define value for artifactId: : myproject
> Define value for package: com.example: :
> Define value for extraSupport: : y
> Based on the value of extraSupport, I want to include (or not include) a file
> in the generated project. If the user does not want the extra support, I
> don't want to clutter up the generated project with unnecessary files.
> It's all about customization of the project based on what the developer
> intends to use. While I could create a whole other archetype, sometimes the
> changes are so slight that it would be easier to include/exclude a file.
> Is there a way to control this behavior using the archetype-metadata.xml
> descriptor?
