Thanks Martin!

Is it possible to control the files created in a module? Is it also possible to sync the content in the file based on meta-data (generated property files)?

Is there any example archetype?

How to invoke archetype plug-in a program? Is it possible to invoke from another plug-in?

Are you suggesting "glassfish users group" is the right forum for this?

Murali

a plain CRUD webapp would accomplish the objective
if you persist to individual properties files you could create archetype from 
the properties files

please ping glassfish users group (us...@glassfish.dev.java.net) for 
configuration/deployment details

Subject: archetype plug-in vs custom plug-in
To: users@maven.apache.org

Hi All,
While searching through mailing list I found "archetypes to add files to an existing project", http://www.nabble.com/Using-Archetypes-to-Add-to-an-Existing-Project-(Maven-2)-ts1274662.html#a1274662
This message is at least 3 years old, did this feature evolve?

This feature might help in my work. I need to generate/add artifact(s) to a module based on the meta data user configures.

I like to define an archetype to generate multi-module project, when project is created from this archetype it creates parent project with POM file and meta data/configuration file. Meta data in configuration file determine number of submodules, and artifacts created in the parent project.

Let us look at my request using an example. maven-archetype-j2ee-simple creates JavaEE multi module project with sub modules ear, ejbs, servelets etc. by default all the sub-modules are empty. I need little variation of it, like to generate configuration file in src\main\resources. This file is edited/configured by user, configuration is input to create/edit/add artifacts to sub-modules.

Does archetype plug-in help? or shall I write my own plug-in?

Regards
Murali
