http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-57 gives an example of how to do this. Thanks for your time!

Archetype creation w/ metadata
Hello folks! I hope this makes sense, as I'm about out of ideas as to how to go about getting my archetype to work as needed. I have two outstanding issues that I can't seem to squash. 1. When I use my archetype to make a project, I get an extra directory and I'm not sure how... Here's the resulting directory structure, when I create my app from /Users/mruno: test-app - pom.xml ^ src -- all the stuff under src is properly placed ^ Users - ^ mruno... and so on, to create an empty resources directory under /Users/mruno/test/src/main/resources and /Users/mruno/test/src/test/resources I've no idea how or why these two empty directories are being created. When I check out the archetype from / I do not get this directory, leading me to think it's some sort of path issue. 2. I need to ask the user for some input to customize the project before Velocity goes through and does its variable replacement. I've tried making an archetype-metadata.xml but it seems like this file is ignored. How can I make maven use that file? I have created an archetype.xml as well, and it seems to be used. I've attached both files here: --= archetype.xml =-- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?archetype idsite-manager-app/id sources source filtered=truesrc/main/java/TestControl.java/source /sources testSources source filtered=truesrc/test/java/TestControlTest.java/source /testSources resources resource filtered=truesrc/main/resources/build.properties/resource resource filtered=truesrc/main/resources/log4j.xml/resource resource filtered=truesrc/test/resources/build.properties/resource resource filtered=truesrc/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml/resource resource filtered=truesrc/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring-security.xml/resource resource filtered=truesrc/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml/resource /resources siteResources resource filtered=falsesrc/main/webapp/WEB-INF/freemarker/header.ftl/resource resource filtered=falsesrc/main/webapp/WEB-INF/freemarker/login.ftl/resource resource filtered=falsesrc/main/webapp/WEB-INF/freemarker/macros/library.ftl/resource resource filtered=falsesrc/main/webapp/WEB-INF/freemarker/test.ftl/resource /siteResources /archetype --= archetype-metadata.xml =-- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? archetype-descriptor name=site-manager-app partial=true idsite-manager-app/id requiredProperties requiredProperty key=name defaultValueMy Sample Application/defaultValue /requiredProperty requiredProperty key=description / /requiredProperties fileSets fileSet packaged=true encoding=UTF-8 directory./src/main/java/directory includes include**/*.java/include /includes /fileSet fileSet packaged=true encoding=UTF-8 directory./src/test/java/directory includes include**/*.java/include /includes /fileSet fileSet encoding=UTF-8 directory./src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/directory includes include**/*.xml/include /includes /fileSet fileSet encoding=UTF-8 directory./src/main/resources/directory includes include**/*.xml/include include**/*.properties/include /includes /fileSet fileSet encoding=UTF-8 directory./src/test/resources/directory includes include**/*.xml/include include**/*.properties/include /includes /fileSet fileSet encoding=UTF-8 directory./src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/freemarker/directory includes include*.ftl/include include**/*.ftl/include /includes /fileSet /archetype-descriptor I really appreciate your time and help!

Re: Archetype creation w/ metadata
So, I've managed to fix my duplicated directory issue. Apparently I do not need fully qualified path's in my pom file like I thought I did. I still cannot get maven to recognize my archetype-metadata.xml file though. Thanks for your time!
