modifying properties while creating files in archetype

[Dirk Olmes <di...@xanthippe.ping.de>]

Hi,

while creating an archetype, file names can be substituted by putting
filenames like __myProperty__Foo.java. This works like a charm but I'd
like to have more control over the properties that are available.
Ideally, I'd like to add more properties programatically while the
archetype is running.

Use case: when creating a new project from the archetype users have to
specify the name of the service they are invoking, e.g. "Salesforce". I
would like to generate a file based on the lowercase name of that
service name (e.g. translate "Salesforce" to "salesforce"). Is this
possible?
