Hi, Is there any way to use the version of an archetype in the templates for that archetype (e.g. use the -DarchetypeVersion command line parameter as ${archetypeVersion})?
My use case is a multi module project, where one module is the archetype, which generates a project that has dependencies on the other modules. All modules inherit their version number from the root pom so I could use the archetype version to specify the version in the dependencies on the other modules. The problem right now is that the version number in the archetype's template for pom.xml is not updated by the release plugin when releasing the complete project, so manual updating is necessary which can/will lead to errors in tags/releases. Or is this project structure bad practice and should the archetype be a separate project? I do not really see the benefit of that since the archetype will always have the same release cycle as the rest of the project. Thanks!
