Description

When generating a new project one cannot use custom variables to generate module names. For example:

archetype-metadata.xml

<archetype-descriptor name="modules-archetype">

  <requiredProperties>
    <requiredProperty key="module1">
    </requiredProperty>
  </requiredProperties>

  <modules>
    <module id="${module1}-ejb" dir="__module1__-ejb" name="-${module1}-ejb">
      <fileSets>
        <fileSet encoding="UTF-8">
          <directory>src/main/java</directory>
        </fileSet>
      </fileSets>
    </module>
  </modules>

</archetype-descriptor>

The above code does not replace file name "_module1_-ejb" but leaves it intact. This was supposedly patched already by Brad Szabo as seen here:
