Maven archetype question
Hi, I have two questions regarding maven archetype. My project has a maven archetype for generating skeleton for a Java service. In addition to it, it has archetype for generating DAO skeleton, and a maven plugin for code generation. These are too many steps for the end developer. I am trying to reduce the steps from 3 to 1 if possible. Question 1: Is it possible to call the second archetype from the first archetype? Or will I have to accomplish this using a shell script? Question 2: Is it possible to call the maven plugin from maven archetype? The idea is to run maven plugin (which does job of code generation) as part of archetype:generate command. Effectively the plugin-generated code should end up in the generated project skeleton. Thanks for your help. -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Maven-archetype-question-tp5805447.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org

Easy questions (hopefully):
1. When creating a custom archetype how do you list resources to
*not *replace variables from? Or in other words not modify
instances of ${blah}. It would be nice to not only be able to
escape individual instances in a file but also files completely
for things like images.
2. Why the different tags? Or in other words why not just have
resources? What does testResources do differently? You
still need to write the entire relative path.
3. Why must all resources be list in archetype.xml? What is the
purpose? When would you not list a file?
Thank you for all the help.
Also there is an error on:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html
About half way down tags are listed with hyphens instead of capitals
between words (eg. test-resources instead of testResources).
Once again, thanks!

Re: Archetype Question
Good day to you, Wendy,
I haven't looked at arhceytpe's code for quite some time now. But if
archetype filters those resources using ${} and @@ delimeters, you can do
the workaround in [1].

This still doesn't address the problem of filtering some, but not all,
expressions in a file, right?
Has anyone found a way to escape expressions in Velocity, so it will
pass them through?

One possibility is to define the property start sequence as velocity macro:
#set( $ps = ${ )
... and later in the file
this should remain ${ps}property.remaining.in.file} unescaped
The problem with the regular velocity escaping mechanism is that it
treats properties that are defined differently from properties that
are not defined. This feature makes it unusable in my opinion.

Re: Archetype Question
I found a method that /half-way /seems to work. If you put a \
in-front of an expression it is not processed. But the problem is that
the \ is not removed after processing of the document. I would suggest
a modification be made to the archetype plugin that removes one \
before any ${blah} after processing.
Thoughts and other ideas? I know only a little about the archetype
plugin and velocity so there may be better options.

Archetype question
Hi,
My colleague and I are working on some archetypes and have run into a problem.
I'm hoping
someone can help me out with this.
In our projects, we need a file that is named the same as the project. This
would mean that
Maven would have to rename certain files that are defined in the archetype when
creating
the project. Sort of like in the POM, we somehow want to define a certain
pattern for Maven
to copy, eg:
'${artifactId}.txt' (or some pre-defined pattern) should be copied to the
project as 'xxx.txt',
when Maven-archetype is run with the '-DartifactId=xxx'.
Does Maven support something like this? And should we use it? Please elaborate.
Thanks,
Roland

Javed, That's what I tried originally, but when I do that the folders that would normally appear for Java sources are not created. The directory structure becomes: MavenWebAppEx src main resources webapp WEB-INF I still need to manually add the java source folders.

Ah i understand your point then you need to create the java folder under main manually , i think this should be a bug for the web archetype plugin . cheers, Javed On 6/13/06, Mike Lundin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Javed, That's what I tried originally, but when I do that the folders that would normally appear for Java sources are not created.

Re: Newbie archetype question
Ben, I was assuming that there was an archetype out there that would generate that structure for me. Is that not the case?

I may not understand things correctly, but I don't see some directories that I would assume would be in there. There is nothing for Java src files or anything like that in there. Should those be in there, or is the preferred method to created multiple maven projects and make them all dependencies on each other?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated -- and feel free to point me to a URL that has more information. I've looked through the resources I know and am not finding anything definitive.

Re: inheriting from plugins (Answer to archetype question)
Hi, Archetypes are templates for projects that are often used. Standard Maven 2 directory structure; common files and folders; and some resources will be created for you. An example is the maven-archetype-webapp which can be used to create a skeleton project for a web application. It will create your starting pom, the WEB-INF folder, a deployment descriptor and some sample JSPs which you could edit later. Here's a full description of archetypes for your reference: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-archetypes.html By the way, it would be nice if you changed the subject of the email you replied to because your question was not related. :-) Hope this helps.
