Hi Rolf,
In order to integration test an archetype there are a couple of things
required. [1]
To test your archetype you will need to create a subdirectory for each test.
These subdirectories live in the 'src/test/resources/projects’ folder of your
archetype project.
E.g. your test ’src/test/resources/projects/my-first-test` will need:
- an (empty) goal.txt file
- an archetype.properties file with the required properties
- Note: that groupId, artifactId, version, package are required by
default, plus any additional required properties defined in your archetype
descriptor without default value.
- optionally a ‘reference/' directory containing a reference project
The integration test goal will first generate a project from your archetype
based on the archetype.properties and if any goals are defined, such as verify,
in the goals.txt it will run that phase against the generated project.
The reference project will need to contain the project to be generated, so the
outputted project as if you ran mvn generate:archetype on your machine.
So if your archetype has a
’src/main/resources/archetype-resources/src/main/java/MyApp.java’ the reference
project with groupId/package com.example would need to contain a
’reference/src/main/resources/java/com/example/MyApp.java’ with all the
properties resolved e.g. ${package} would be com.example in the reference.
If you run into the issue that the test fails due to not being allowed to
override/copy files, make sure to explicitly include all the required files in
your filesets of your archetype descriptor.

Hope this helps,
