Yes it is: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html
Unfortunately, the command line for a custom tag is a bit clunky. You have to pass the artifactId and groupId of your archetype as parameters. kris bravo * Clarify Development * office: 678.893.1288 * mobile: 678.296.8723 -----Original Message----- From: Roland Asmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 1:46 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: ArcheType definition Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to write my own Archetype-definition, so that when I run 'mvn achetype:create' Maven will generate me a POM that has some more stuff in it than the current default. The thing is, that my company will be writing lots of projects that are fairly similar, so I have introduced a company- wide POM, which I would like to have automatically added to the POM created with an archetype:create. Also, depending on the type of project (currently we have 4 different types), I want to add the default plugins and dependencies for those type of projects. Is there an easy and fast way, or should I re-write the Archetype-plugin as a new plugin that has this functionality?
