Hardy Ferentschik commented on HV-137:
--------------------------------------

I looked at the patch and it does not seem to include archetype.xml. This way the archetype creation will only work with the catalog approach. I think we should also support the more explicit way by specifying properties on the command line.

I am also wondering whether we should use packaged="false" in the archetype descriptor. Basically we would use fixed package names, for example org.hibernate.validator.quickstart. This way we can actually import the archetype as another module into the IDE and change/refactor the files. 

Another maybe even better idea is to have a 'normal' maven project under hibernate-validator-archetype. It would contain the model and test classes. Then at build-time we call 'archetype:create-from-project' to actually dynamically create the archetype. This way we can easily maintain the actual code, but also get the benefit of an archetype.

> Creating and deploying a HV maven archetype will make it even easier for people to get started and we can use the archetype to keep some of the example classes.
> We can add the archetype just as another submodule
