Jason - you mentioned you had this completed at TSSJS last week. Is it scheduled to go into an upcoming Maven release?

Thanks,

Matt

This is working but it needs a lot of testing and won't coincide with the 2.0.3 release. It has its own lifecycle so when it's ready you won't have to wait for a release of Maven core.

basic version is included in 1.0-alpha-4. Jason will revisit for 1.0-beta-1 to ensure it does the trick.

Is there more information on how to use this new feature? The current documention on this plugin seems to be a bit sparse.

I can see that something has happened because there are a couple of pages of docos and I can do

mvn clean archetypeng:create-from-project

and see code appear in target/generated-sources/archetypeng. It might even almost be a valid archetype, but when I install it and then use it I get

Embedded error: The META-INF/maven/archetype.xml descriptor cannot be found.

(Despite the fact that the file exists in the jar. I guess it is somehow invalid and the error message is unclear?)

The archetype groupId and artifacfId are the same as the project it was created from (not very useful). I also see target/archetype.properties appearing. Maybe that's being used to set the archetype pom properties up? Not so you'd notice. Is this supposed to work? How would I modify the archetype?

Is there going to be some more documentation?
