[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-2588) support creating projects from archetypes which don't use maven

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2588?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] James Strachan commented on FORGE-2588: --------------------------------------- so one really simple workaround for this issue is to remove the pom.xml and src folder before the ArchtypeHelper processes the archetype jar; as for java / maven projects its going to replace whatever is there with the pom.xml thats inside the archetype anyway and will generate all the required java source folders with the correct package names or files from the archetype etc. Then if there's no pom.xml or src folders in the archetype jar, things just work beautifully without having to make major changes to ProjectType / NewProjectWizardImpl.java to defer decisions on what facets are inside a MavenArchetypeProjectType.java until after the archetype has been generated. Does this simple patch seem OK to you? It only affects projects created using MavenArchetypeProjectType. I did ponder about adding a custom "non-java" marker to the archetype to restrict the scope of this fix further; but thats harder right now as ArchetypeHelper is called with an InputStream of the archetype jar so its harder to pre-process the jar first to look for a magic file to delete pom.xml and src before processing it again. If you're happy with the above I can submit a PR? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
