[jira] [Created] (ARCHETYPE-495) rename ArchetypeGenerator.generateArchetype() to ProjectGenerator.generateProject()

Hervé Boutemy created ARCHETYPE-495:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: rename ArchetypeGenerator.generateArchetype() to ProjectGenerator.generateProject()
                 Key: ARCHETYPE-495
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-495
             Project: Maven Archetype
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Generator
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Hervé Boutemy


{{ArchetypeGenerator.generateArchetype()}} is really misleading: it's not about generating an archetype, but about generating *a project from* an archetype

this API cause strong confusion in the archetype lifecycle: sample project -> archetype project -> archetype artifact -> generated project
