Description

Give user the ability to use maven properties in fileset include / exclude pattern.

In methodProcessTemplate of class org.apache.maven.archetype.generator.DefaultFilesetArchetypeGenerator, line 770 (in version 2.4).
Adding this lines:

            FileSet fileSet = iterator.next();
            count++;
            if ( fileSet.getIncludes() != null && !fileSet.getIncludes().isEmpty() )
            {
                final List<String> includes = new ArrayList<String>();
                for ( String include : fileSet.getIncludes() )
                {
                    includes.add( replaceFilenameTokens( include, context ) );
                }
                fileSet.setIncludes( includes );
            }
            if ( fileSet.getExcludes() != null && !fileSet.getExcludes().isEmpty() )
            {
                final List<String> excludes = new ArrayList<String>();
                for ( String exclude : fileSet.getExcludes() )
                {
                    excludes.add( replaceFilenameTokens( exclude, context ) );
                }
                fileSet.setExcludes( excludes );
            }

is really usefull for conditional archetype generation !

So in archetype-metadata.xml

    <requiredProperties>
        <requiredProperty key="base-name">
            <defaultValue>${artifactId.substring(0,1)}</defaultValue>
        </requiredProperty>
    </requiredProperties>
    <fileSets>
        <fileSet filtered="true" packaged="false" encoding="UTF-8">
            <directory>src/main/resources/directory>
            <includes>
                <include>__base-name__*.*</include>
            </includes>
        </fileSet>
    </fileSets>
