Description
Currently if you want to create an archetype from a existing project you need a two step process. First you have to run 'mvn archetype:create-from-project' and then you have to install/deploy the archetype generated in target/generated-sources/archetype. Wouldn't it be possible to have a new packaging type, eg archetype?
For example, imagine you have an aggregator (multi module) project, where one module is supposed to be the template for the archetype. When you deploy/release the whole project you would like the archetype creation be part of the the 'mvn deploy' or 'mvn release:perform' process. Currently you will have to go through the mentioned two step process.
Thoughts?
