Hello fellow maven users, I would like to create a standalone maven plugin that is able to create a module archetype. It should generate the pom and directory structure like a normal maven archetype.
When this has been created, it should generate some workflows as spring application context files, based on input parameters. One of these parameters are the groupId, artifactId and version of other maven-built artifacts (jars). They should be added to the plugin classpath and certain resources in those artifacts are loaded and used to generate other resources. So in short.. I want to access the maven repository, look up the artifacts based on input parameters, resolve them as plugin dependencies, do something with them and add them to the to-be-created-project's pom dependency list. Has anyone done this before and could point me in the right direction? Cheers Jo
