James Roper commented on ARCHETYPE-455:
---------------------------------------

I was thinking... I know, I could do my part and implement this myself! Then I saw a patch was already attached 3 years ago, with no review or response from the maintainers in that time.  Willingness to contribute to this open source project is futile.

> I have to create a multi-module project from maven-archetype with free configurable modulenames. This should be possible with required properties in the archetype.
> Up to now this is only possible with artifactId or rootArtifactId and you have to use it in form of prefix__rootArtifactId__postfix for the module directory.
> What I want is to set a required property while setting up the new project with the archetype. Within the archetype you have to configure the module with directory __yourproperty__ and in the archetype-metadata.xml the module entry like as follows: 
> {code}
> <module id="${yourproperty}" dir="__yourproperty__" name="${yourproperty}">
> {code}
> I made a patch which works for me.
