Re: Question about maven archetype: how to convert ${artifactId} into a file system path?

[goutham vasireddi]

Hi

I don't know this helps you are not but if you want to create a file system
path with a parameter.

You can set packaged=true in fileset  tag , then all the defined files in
filetag will be created in a file system path as given to ${package}.

example:

${package}=my.nice.little.project

//archetype-metadata.xml/

fileSets
fileSet filtered=true *packaged=true*  encoding=UTF-8

directoryapi/directory
includes
includeTest.java/include
/includes
/fileSet
/fileSets

then your Test.java file will be created in
api/my/nice/little/project/Test.java

 As far as I know this is not possible. Velocity is not powerful enough to

 Actually I am running into the same limitation.

 For this to work you would need to put a custom object into the Velocity
 context that parses the artifactId property and exposes the data to the
 template. Currently this is not possible.

 I've found several mails on the user list that mentioned similar
 requirements: a mechanism in the archetype plugin to hook in custom
 velocity
 context objects.

 Additionally I've found [1], where the same is mentioned and from which I
 conclude that such an addition to the archetype plugin would be welcome and
 possible.

 This mail describes the possibility of user defined hooks that get called
 while preparing the velocity context to enhance the velocity context.
 However I don't readily see how such a hook could be loaded. I assume such
 a
 hook would be packaged together with the archetype template archive. This
 archetype template archive is not a dependency on the maven classpath as
 far
 as I know.

 Of course, usually you can add extra dependencies when you configure a
 plugin in the pom. However, the archetype plugin is special in that
 normally
 when you use archetype:generate you will not have any pom yet.

 So it puzzles me how in [1] JvZ imagined this was going to work.

 Anyone have suggestions?

  If this is possible, could somebody please point me to the relevant
