Enabling fileset packaging with archetype-metadata.xml

[nklein <no...@gmail.com>]

I trying to set up my Maven archetype so the directory layout for
ActionScript files can be updated through the package setting. This provides
ActionScript with the same functionality available to Java files.

I've read
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/advanced-usage.html
and performed a
$ mvn archetype:create-from-project
-Darchetype.properties=../archetype.properties

where the archetype.properties file contains:

archetype.filteredExtensions=as
archetype.languages=ActionScript

When this command is executed, then the archetype-metadata.xml file is
updated so that filtering is enabled for *.as files:

<fileSet filtered=”true” encoding=”UTF-8”>   // packaged defaults to false
    <directory>src/test/flex</directory>
     <includes>
         <include>**/*.as</include>
     </includes>
 </fileSet>

But to get the package setting to be recognized, then the packaged option
also needs to be enabled for this fileset. 

It doesn't seem like I can just update this file to turn on
packaging="true", because then Maven seems to become confused and doesn't
perform directory layout correctly (it prepends the new package name but
doesn't remove the old one in some places but not all); it also isn't a good
idea to be directly modifying Maven's internal XML files. This type of
modification should only be performed through Maven commands.

I have looked through archetype:create-from-project's optional parameters
but haven't found any optional parameter that turns on the packaged
attribute for a particular language (analogous to
archetype.filteredExtensions) that can be added to the properties file. 

Thanks, Norman

Hello Norman,

The property "archetype.languages" is a list of values containing the names
of the directories containing packaged sources.
For you example this could be "archetype.languages=flex"

Regards,

Raphaël
