Krzysztof Cislo commented on ARCHETYPE-318:
-------------------------------------------

It would be perfect if we can used not only pure variable but also other Velocity syntax (as far as archetype is somehow based on Velocity).

E.g.: I want to set module name to generate exampled module with a class. I set property wit h value "test" which is used for package name but for class name I have to set "Test" so first letter has to be changed to upper case. Of course I can use two properties but it is much easier for somebody who use my archetype to set only one.

> In our archetype-metadata.xml we´ve defined a <requiredProperty> with a default value like this:
> <requiredProperty key="subArtifactId">
>     <defaultValue>${artifactId}.itest1</defaultValue>
> </requiredProperty>
> When we call "archetype:generate" and enter the parameters in interactive mode everything works fine. But when we try to set the parameter "subArtifactId" on the command line (mvn archetype:generate -DsubArtifactId=xyz) or from an "archetype.properties" file, the value is ignored. In the generated pom.xml the variable ${subArtifactId} is always replaced with "${artifactId}.itest1".
