Hi,
I'm in the process of creating my first archetype. I've based it on the
simple-webapp archetype, but I've added the entire ColdFusion application.
This is 4114 files total. I can build and install the archetype just fine
using mvn install just fine. However, when I use mvn archetype:create to
create a new project based on my archetype I get this in the resulting
output:
[WARNING] org.apache.velocity.runtime.exception.ReferenceException:
reference : template =
archetype-resources/src/main/webapp/CFIDE/adminapi/_datasource/getaccessdefaultsfromregistry.cfm
[line 17,column 20] : $coldfusion is not a valid reference.

I think that what's going on is that the Velosity templating system is
seeing $ or ${ or something like that in the ColdFusion files. I'm trying
to find a way to tell velosity to ignore these files. Any tips on this?
I've read every line of documentation on the archetype plugin I can find,
but there's no clear answer.
I did find one page which discussed a file called archetype-metadata.xml.
The simple-webapp archetype I based this on didn't have one of these files.
I added it under src/main/resources/META-INF/maven, with the following XML,
but it didn't seem to have any effect at all the next time I tried to create
my archetype:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<archetype-descriptor name="basic">
<fileSets>
<fileSet filtered="false" packaged="true">
<directory>src/main</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*.*</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</archetype-descriptor>
I get the impression that there are two versions of the archetype plugin and
that the I might be building my archetype based on documentation on the
archetype 1 plugin and that the archetype-metadata.xml file is specific to
version 2?
Thanks for your help,
