I've created a Maven archetype for a custom project setup, which is working wonderfully, but I was wondering if it's possible to pass extra parameters so that I can do some more interesting templating. I tried something like
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local -DdbHost=localhost
and put
...
<option name="db.host.config.option" value="${dbHost}" />
...
in my template, but that doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to do this with an archetype?
