Dynamically generating class names with archetype
I'm building an archetype for generating Maven projects for our custom application framework. Everything is working but the generated project always has the same class names and annotations. I would like to be able to dynamically specify those names/annotations.
For example, I can specify my Java file (src/main/resources/archetype-resources/src/main/java/ClientApp.java) like this:
package ${packageName};
// imports go here...
@OurAnnotation(client="Client", application="ClientApp", version="1.0.0-SNAPSHOT")
public class ClientApp extends OurBaseClass {
...
}
but what I'd like to do is something like this:
package ${packageName};
// imports go here...
@OurAnnotation(client="${client}", application="${clientApp}", version="${clientAppVersion}")
public class ${clientApp} extends OurBaseClass {
...
}
I tried the above and using:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=... -DarchetypeArtifactId=... -DarchetypeVersion=... -Dclient=Acme -DclientApp=HelloWorld6 -DclientAppVersion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -DgroupId=net.interactions.example -Dversion=0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -DartifactId=hello-world-6
my generated ClientApp.java file had the correct package name (net.interactions.example), but none of the other substitutions were performed. Also, I'd need the generated file itself to have the correct name (${clientApp}.java). I'd have preferred that the generated file be named "HelloWorld6.java" and have the content:
package net.interactions.example;
// imports go here...
@OurAnnotation(client="Acme", application="HelloWorld6", version="0.0.1-SNAPSHOT")
public class HelloWorld6 extends OurBaseClass {
...
}
Is what I want to do possible?

Yes this is possible. Name the Java class in the archetype
__clientApp__.java and the archetype should fill in the proper variable
name. You need to specify the clientApp property in the
archetype-metadata.xml to enable the substitution.

At the top of that page there is a link to a new archetype descriptor. Have
a look there.

Where would I put the definitions of those properties?

According to the documentation at:
http://maven.apache.org/archetype/archetype-common/archetype.html
the only elements supported by <archetype> are <id>, <allowPartial>, <sources>, <resources>, <testSources>, <testResources> and <siteResources>. Where would I put the definitions of those properties?

Hi have you defined these properties in an archetype descriptor?
