Provide ability to generate a submodule without parent declaration
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-393
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-393
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: cdorot
My use case deals about a multi modules projects having the following structure
:
+ ${project-reactor}
+ ${project-module1}
+ ${project-module2}
+ ...
+ ${project-bom}
+ ${project-parent}
Each of the submodule's pom.xml (inside ${project-module1}, ${project-module2})
which will be defined later, will have a parent declaration referring to
${project-parent}.
As mentioned in ARCHETYPE-110, the current implementation overwrites parent
information if there are no existing parent definition inside the body of the
pom.xml. So if we don't want such declaration we haven't no alternatives.
It could be great if we have a way to have choice for each module to have or
NOT the parent information.
This could be done in :
* /src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/archetype-metadata.xml (add a
"generate-parent-declaration" for the "module" tag)
* add a meta-information in the pom.xml such as <!-- @@NOPARENT @@ -->
