So you are saying if I type in x.y.z as package name you will create the empty sequence of directories:<br>
<br>
<src>/x/y/z ?<br>
<br>
If that is the case then I don't see the need for it before there actually is a file to put in there…?<br>
<br>
Empty directories is a broken window.<br>
<br>
What would be more fun is that forge would actually remember the last package name used for a command so<br>
it would offer it as default (Lincoln - did you get that properties/config stuff in place ? :)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>There is a mechanism for this. I'm using it in the Arquillian Extensions plugin.</div>
