        Key: MAVEN-948
    Summary: Genapp to prompt for project root
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Trivial

 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: 3 hours

    Project: maven
 Components: 
             plugin-genapp
   Versions:

   Assignee:

Environment: All

Description:
Currently, the genapp plugin assumes that ${basedir} is to be the top-level of the project being 'gen'ed.  The user doesn't realize that the plugin is going to write a bunch of files/directories to the current directory until *after* running it.

It would be nice if we could prompt for a location.  I have tested that with simple code modifications to plugin.jelly & plugin.properties

plugin.jelly:
Step 1
Replace all occurences of ${basedir} with ${projectRoot}.

Step 2
Add the following lines at line 92

<!-- Get the project root -->
<j:set var="projectRoot" value="${maven.genapp.projectRoot}"/>
<j:if test="${empty(projectRoot)}">
  <i:ask question="${maven.genapp.prompt.projectRoot}" 
           answer="projectRoot"   
          default="${basedir}/${maven.genapp.template.name}"/>
</j:if>

plugin.properties:
Added the property setting

maven.genapp.prompt.projectRoot=Please specify the project root directory:

I can provide the modified files -- and related changes to properties.xml -- if you wish.
