${module.toLowerCase()} in generated files with default properties

[a14n]

I used the default values of properties when executing :

mvn archetype:generate \
   -DarchetypeGroupId=net.ltgt.gwt.archetypes \
   -DarchetypeArtifactId=modular-requestfactory  \
   -DarchetypeVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT

e.g. :

Confirm properties configuration:
groupId: a14n.test
artifactId: rf
version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
package: a14n.test.rf
gwt-maven-plugin-version: 2.4.0
gwt-version: 2.4.0
jetty-maven-plugin-version: 8.1.3.v20120416
module: App
module-short-name: ${module.toLowerCase()}

But ${module.toLowerCase()} is not replaced by the good value and is used directly. Thus for instance, I find in client/src/main/java/a14n/test/rf/App.gwt.xml the following content :

[...]
<module rename-to="${module.toLowerCase()}">
[...]

Works for me. Which version of Maven are you using? I'm using 3.0.3, and maven-archetype-plugin:2.2:

[a14n]

I'm using Maven 2.2.1 and "maven -X" shows that version 2.0 of maven-archetype-plugin is used.

[DEBUG] Configuring mojo 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.0:generate' -->

I wanted to test with version 2.2 of maven-archetype-plugin but I haven't found how (and if it is possible) to force maven-archetype-plugin version.

[tbroyer]

AFAICT, mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.2:generate instead of mvn archetype:generate.

[a14n]

Shame on me, I didn't remember this way to launch plugin.

Using maven-archetype-plugin:2.2, generation works as expected and ${module.toLowerCase()} is well replaced by rf in my above test.

I also try with maven-archetype-plugin:2.1 but it don't work like with 2.0.

OK, will add a note in the README.
