I am confused by some of the wording in the guide to creating archetypes (http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html):
---- cut here --- An archetype is made up of: * an archetype descriptor (archetype.xml in directory: src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/). ... Note: this mini-guide has been written for archetype plugin version 1.0.x ... . Archetype plugin 2.0.x ... __adds__ (emphasis mine) a new archetype descriptor (stored in archetype-metadata.xml file) ---- cut here --- I interpret this as saying that to create a v2 archetype, both the original archetype.xml and the v2 archetype-metadata.xml files are required. I'm having a hard type creating an archetype, and maintaining two files that contain the same basic info is a bit of a pain. -- <Insert your favorite quote here as a signature or risk looking like a squeamish ossifrage> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
