[Archetype] proposition of a wrapper plugin
Hi,
I have a plugin proposition around archetype, any tought ?
Some of the features would need some changes in settings.xml
Raphaël
The proposed plugin defines some goals calling specific lifecycles mapped on
internal (to the plugin) goals.
public goals:
1. define-project,
2. generate-project,
3. clean-project.
internal goals:
1. select-archetype,
2. define-archetype-properties,
3. show-archetype-pom,
4. generate-archetype-project,
5. clean-archetype-properties.
define-project public goal This goal calls an internal lifecylce with the
internal goals:
1. select-archetype,
2. define-archetype-properties,
3. show-archetype-pom.
generate-project public goal This goal calls an internal lifecycle with the
internal goals:
1. show-archetype-pom,
2. generate-archetype-project.
clean-project public goal This goal calls an internal lifecycle with the
internal goals:
1. clean-archetype-properties.
select-archetype internal goal This goal:
- collects the archetypes from local repository and remote repository.
- uses a archetypeGroup property similar to pluginGroup.
- displays a list of the collected archetypes and let the user choose
one.
- finishes by writing the selected archetype reference
(groupId:artifactId:version) in the archteype.properties file.
If the archetype.properties file exist before the selection, the defined
archetype reference is used as default value. define-archetype-properties
internal goal This goal:
- reads the archetype reference from the archetype.properties file.
- reads the archetype.xml (in MEAT-INF/maven/ of archetype artifact)
for required and optional properties.
- reads the archetypes.properties file to find already defined
required and optional properties.
- ask user for all the required properties (using the properties
defined in archetype.properties as default values).
- save the archetype.properties file with the newly defined properties
both required and optional.
show-archetype-pom internal goal This goal:
- reads the archetype reference and the archetype properties from the
archetype.properties file.
- calls the archetype plugin to generate only the project's pom in the
target directory.
- display the generate target/pom.xml file to the screen.
Use timestamp on archetype.properties and target/pom.xml files to not call
teh generation generate-archetype-project internal goal This goal:
- reads the archetype reference and the archetype properties from the
archetype.properties file.
- calls the archetype plugin to generate only the project's pom in the
target directory.
clean-archetype-properties internal goal This goal:
- removes all the archetype.properties lines but the archetype
reference.

You probably won't get much interest until there is some code to play
with. Is this something you need? Then write it, and if it attracts
interest and is useful for someone else, that's a bonus.
As an example, Don Brown was frustrated with the archetype plugin, so
he wrote a front end called "Archy" and posted an announcement about
it on the user list.
