  1. POHow do I create dynamically named folders with Maven Archetype?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to build an archetype structure like this, a webapp with some custom folders for our web framework. Especially some dynamic folders which also will contain some files brought by the archetype.</p> <pre><code>└───src └───main └───webapp └───WEB-INF ├───cfg │ ├───log4j │ └───resources │ └───extensions │ ├───${shortName}-business │ └───${shortName}-layout └───lib </code></pre> <p>I added a required property to my <code>archetype-metadata.xml</code> to have an short name for the project, which is used among other things for generating unique folders.</p> <pre><code>&lt;requiredProperties&gt; &lt;requiredProperty key="shortName" /&gt; &lt;/requiredProperties&gt; </code></pre> <p>The property <code>shortName</code> I use in a <code>fileSet</code>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;fileSet&gt; &lt;directory&gt;[..]/resources/extensions/${shortName}-business&lt;/directory&gt; &lt;/fileSet&gt; &lt;fileSet&gt; &lt;directory&gt;[..]/resources/extensions/${shortName}-layout&lt;/directory&gt; &lt;/fileSet&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <p>The command to generate the archetype:</p> <pre><code>mvn archetype:generate -B \ -DgroupId=com.stackoverflow \ -DartifactId=stackoverflow-question -DarchetypeGroupId=com.stackoverflow \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=stackoverflow-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 \ -DshortName=soq </code></pre> <p>I assume to get the following folder structure:</p> <pre><code>..\ ├───soq-business └───soq-layout </code></pre> <p>But I get this name <code>${shortName}-business</code> as folder, without it being replaced with the property.</p> <pre><code>..\ ├───${shortName}-business └───${shortName}-layout </code></pre> <p>How can I achieve this? How can I place files below <code>soq-business</code> without knowing the folder name at this time?</p>
