POOverwrite archetypes in Maven
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm having some trouble using Maven for my archetypes and I will need to overwrite some. I launch an instruction that does an archetype:generate in an archetype already existing directory. </p> <p>Is there a parameter that let's me overwrite existing archetypes?</p> <p>I have search the maven definitve guide but it states that the only parameters accepted are: -DgroupId -DartifactId -Dversion -DpackageName -DarchetypeGroupId -DarchetypeArtifactId -DarchetypeVersion -DinteractiveMode</p> <p>I could just search the directory and delete the files, but this proccess is going to be done automatically (so no human involved, no brains involved) and I wouldn't like he machine deleting things around.</p> <p>Thanks for all!</p> <p>Edit: I almost forgot, here is some maven trace:</p> <pre><code>[INFO] Scanning for projects...
