----------------------------------------

             Summary: Use velocity expressions in path names
                 Key: ARCHETYPE-398
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-398
             Project: Maven Archetype
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Plugin
    Affects Versions: 2.2
            Reporter: Nicolas Dupont


In required properties in an archetype descriptor, you can use expressions such as :
<requiredProperty key="className">
<defaultValue>${rootArtifactId.substring(0,1).toUpperCase()}${rootArtifactId.substring(1)}</defaultValue>
</requiredProperty>

But you can't in a path name (e.g. you can't name a folder as __rootArtifactId.substring(1)__).

For such a case, another solution would be the ability to store a hidden value (not visible by the user who generates a project) in the Velocity context and to able to use it in a path name (e.g. define somewhere MyFolderName as rootArtifactId.substring(1) and then use __MyFolderName__ as a folder name).
