Is it possible to add files to an archetype from other directories?
I'd like to hand-craft an archetype that consists of a single pom.xml and
pulls it's sources from other modules/directories in my project. Is that
possible?
In case anyone needs a more detailed explanation why, here goes...
I'm working on AppFuse, which contains many different archetypes and
"stacks" of frameworks. In the 2.0.x form, we used WARs and overlays and
have found it difficult for users to understand. Rather than pulling in WARs
(and reading their classpaths with the warpath plugin), I'd rather include
all the WAR source in an archetype. This evening, using the war-plugin and
Jetty's support for multiple source directories, I was able to modify things
so all the web/** projects can pull files from web/common/** and build their
WARs as normal, without needing to copy common files to all the modules.
If I want to use a similar setup with archetypes, I need to create a pom.xml
and an archetype descriptor, then slurp in all the files from web/common and
web/framework. If it's not possible to use ../.. notation in an archetype
descriptor, what's the best way to include these common files for new users?
Thanks,
Matt
P.S. I also tried using mvn archetype:create-from-project, but that doesn't
work b/c it 1) keeps the hierarchy of parent pom, which most users probably
won't like and 2) there's no way to automate the building/deploying of these
generated archetypes.

I was able to solve this by changing from maven-archetype-core to
archetype-common and using the new API. Full changelog on moving from old to
new is at:

RE: Is it possible to add files to an archetype from other

Encountered: <EOF> after : "" means you have a null value followed by EOF when reading the xml
Here are the examples I have seen for getTestFile
File f1 = getTestFile( "src/test/resources/projects/grandchild-check/child/pom.xml");
getProject( f1 );
//The key is to acquire the pom.xml
If you are getting Security permissions try using filename.getCanonicalFile()
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/File.html#getCanonicalFile()
does this help?

Re: Is it possible to add files to an archetype from other

Posted by mraible <ma...@raibledesigns.com>.
I was able to code a workaround using Ant to create the project then
"archetype:create-from-project" to create it. The nice thing about using Ant
to do this was I was also able to modify errors in the create process to
make working archetypes.
After doing this, I've discovered that the code I was using to materialize
archetypes automatically no longer works. The code is below and the error
I'm experiencing is as follows:
org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireBooter.runSuitesInProcess(SurefireBooter.java:345)

archetypeVersion) throws Exception {

project.getArtifactId()));
Map<String, String> parameters = new HashMap<String, String>();
parameters.put("groupId", project.getGroupId());
parameters.put("artifactId", project.getArtifactId());
parameters.put("version", "1.0-SNAPSHOT");
parameters.put("basedir", getTestFile("target").getAbsolutePath());
Archetype archetype = (Archetype) lookup(Archetype.ROLE);
ArtifactRepositoryLayout layout =
(ArtifactRepositoryLayout)
container.lookup(ArtifactRepositoryLayout.ROLE, "default");
String mavenRepoLocal = "file://" + System.getProperty("user.home")
+ System.getProperty("file.separator") +
".m2" + System.getProperty("file.separator") + "repository";
ArtifactRepository localRepository = new
DefaultArtifactRepository("local", mavenRepoLocal, layout);
List<ArtifactRepository> remoteRepositories = new
ArrayList<ArtifactRepository>();
/*String mavenRepoRemote = "http://repo1.maven.org/maven2";
ArtifactRepository remoteRepository = new
DefaultArtifactRepository("remote", mavenRepoRemote, layout);
remoteRepositories.add(remoteRepository);*/
String archetypeGroupId = "org.appfuse.archetypes";
archetype.createArchetype(archetypeGroupId, archetypeArtifactId,
archetypeVersion, localRepository,
remoteRepositories, parameters);
}
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

That seems to go against the grain of Maven.
