maven 2 and build.properties

[Nicolas De Loof <ni...@capgemini.com>]

Hello,

I've just take a look at the maven 2 site

As far I understand it, pom.xml = project.xml + project.properties + 
${user.home}/build.properties

Will maven 2 allow user to customize some "properties"
I think about two things :
- path to local repo : my C: drive is full and I've set 
"maven.repo.local" to my D: drive. Using maven 2, a new .m2 is created. 
Will this be configurable ?
- plugins "system dependant" configuration : what about native plugin 
that requires local configuraiton for compiler/linker ?

Second question : about archetype goal
Will it be possible to configure custom templates path (as for maven 1.x 
genapp plugin) ?

Nico.

I'm about to write a doc on it, but this was answered here:

This will be included in the settings.xml file in some way.

archetypes are like plugins.

try:
m2 archetype:create -DartifactId=my-webapp -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
(See the example in the getting started guide).

More on archetypes will be written later.

Thanks,
Brett
