[jira] Commented: (ARCHETYPE-192) Property replacement for required properties

["Benjamin Papez (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-192?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=150619#action_150619 ] 

Benjamin Papez commented on ARCHETYPE-192:
------------------------------------------

I have a use case, where I would need to reformat an existing property and use it as default value for another property. If for instance the artifactId is my-templates, I would like to automatically suggest creating a file called MyTemplates.properties. Using __artifactId__.properties now creates my-templates.properties which does not match the Java standard naming conventions. So would it somehow be possible to define a format conversion of the arifactId property and create another property using this Camel Case convention?

> It would be nice if one could define default values for required properties using other required properties. 
> For example:
> <requiredProperties>
>    <requiredProperty key="myModule" />
>    <requiredProperty key="myApp" />
>    <requiredProperty key="package">
>        <defaultValue>org.foo.bar.${myModule}.${myApp}</defaultValue>
>     </requiredProperty>
>  </requiredProperties>
> having resources
> src/main/java
>     dao/MyDao.java
>     Main.java
> would produce
> org.foo.bar.mymodule.myapp.dao.MyDao.java
> org.foo.bar.mymodule.myapp.Main.java
