How to set some variables in archetypes?
Hi all,
I´m developing an archetype for out projects. Their general structure is Customer --> Project --> Submodule_1, ..., Submodule_n. For each project the customer and project vary. During the archetype generating I´m able to set the name of the top directory, customer. But after this I have to change the name of the project in the generated Maven project, in all subordinated directories.
Is there a possibility to use place holder for this name which whould be replaced during the generating of the archetype? I´ve tried it with
<modules>
<module>${project}</module>
</modules>
in the upper POM and using archetype.properties where this property was declared: project=PROJECTNAME. But it didn´t work. Any other idea?
Many thanks for every reply.

AW: How to set some variables in archetypes?
Posted by Sonja Stocker <so...@gmx.de>.
Step by step I could resolve some of my problems - thanks for your answers.
My mistake in using the property file was that I used the archetype.properties-property in the goal generate instead of the goal create-from-archetype. After changing this it works fine.
It remains the message: Parent element not overwritten in ...
Can I change any setting so that the parent element will be overwritten?

I think my problem is that I have one hierarchy more than a multi module project usually has. The artifactId in the upper level (customer) will be replaced with the id I enter during the generation. But I also would like to replace the name of the artifactId in the second level - PROJECT.
In the first step I use the artifactId Template for the top level and PROJECT for the second level. Then I use the goal create-from-project and get my archetype. Here I execute the changes: I replace PROJECT with ${project} in the both POMs. After installing and generating the project with the property archetype.properties I get the new project. The string ${project} hasnt been replaced.
Can the problem stick together with to the message which I get during the generating:
Parent element not overwritten in C:\tmp\archetype\CUSTOMER\PROJECT\pom.xml
Is there a possibility to force the replacing? The attribute filtered="true" in the archetype descriptor is set.

Just to clarify, are you saying that "${project}" wasn't replaced with the
value of the archetype-gathered property? Or are you fighting a problem
with folder names matching up with module names?

Any other idea?
I suppose that you are using create-from-project goal.
You can have module names automatically replaced when module names are
an "extension" to the name of the project.
For example:
my-project
-- my-project-ear
-- my-project-ejb
-- my-project-war
See here for more information:
