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:

I really appreciate your time and help! Forgive me if I'm making silly
mistakes... so far as I can tell though, I'm not.
