We have something different planned too (on a RFE) but I didn’t had the chance yet to look after that, in short something similar to
https://code.quarkus.io where a website and a maven plugin is used instead of cli and archetype, allowing better functionality and interaction towards building the Maven project. I plan to start looking at this Q4.
That’s not exclusive.
Even if we have a code generator instead of a Maven archetype, we still need a "getting started page » as an entry point.
We can start building this page based on our archetypes and update it whenever we have a code generator.
I suspect than a lot of choices we will make for this user experience could influence what we could achieve with a code generator.
Best regards,
Jeff
