Mikko Koponen commented on ARCHETYPE-58:
----------------------------------------

Also, custom properties for "ARCHETYPE-58-a-slightly-different-kind-of-patch" are configured in a "slightly-more-maven-kinda-way":

<contextProperties>
    <myPropertyKey>myPropertyValue</myPropertyKey>
</contextProperties>

> Need the ability to add new properties to the velocity context during the processing of an archetype through archetype-core.
> Also need the ability to determine whether to optionally include a resource, source etc based on a conditional test on a property.
> Consider for example adding properties and optional tests as follows:
> <archetype>
>   <id>servicemix-se</id>
>   <sources>
>     <conditional>
> 	<source>src/main/java/MyBootstrap.java</source>
>         <propertyEqual property="generateBootstrap" value="true"/>
>     </conditional>
>     <source>src/main/java/MyComponent.java</source>
>     <source>src/main/java/MyEndpoint.java</source>
>   </sources>
>   <testSources>
>     <source>src/test/java/MySpringComponentTest.java</source>
>   </testSources>
>   <testResources>
>     <resource>src/test/resources/spring.xml</resource>
>     <resource>src/test/resources/log4j.properties</resource>
>   </testResources>
>   <contextProperties>
>   	<property name="pluginRepositoryId" value="apache.snapshots"/>
>   	<property name="pluginRepositoryName" value="Maven Central Plugins Development Repository"/>
>   	<property name="pluginRepositoryUrl" value="http://cvs.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository"/>  	  	
>   	<property name="pluginRepositorySnapshotsEnabled" value="true"/>
>   	<property name="pluginRepositoryReleasesEnabled" value="true"/>
>   	<property name="generateBootstrap" value="false"/>
>   </contextProperties>
> </archetype>
> The example above shows that we want to be able to gather additional properties and then in the sources conditionally determine whether we want to include it.
> I will attach a patch that already implements the contextProperties as shown above and has 80% of the code in place for the conditional inclusion of files.
