<p>
In addition to the default property files read while processing a
plugin, genapp uses on top a template specific property file. This
will be read after the plugin has found the template specified by
the user. Since all the property files share the same namespace
you can define any of the properties below anywhere. But typically
you will have properties specific for each template.
</p>
<table>
<tr><th>Property</th><th>Description</th><th>Default</th></tr>
<tr>
<td>maven.genapp.filter</td>
<td>
Specifies the files (comma-separated list) that have to be copied
into the new project after they have been filtered. The filtering
replaces placeholders with properties (see below).
</td>
<td>java,test</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>maven.genapp.param</td>
<td>
Specifies the filter parameters (comma-separated list). See
filtering rules below and a descitpion of the default parameters.
</td>
<td>id,name,package,user</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>maven.genapp.repackage</td>
<td>
Specifies the directories (comma-separated list) with files to
build a Java package. Genapp will copy the files into the new
project according the path rules for packages. The package is
defined with the property maven.genapp.template.package. The
files are not only copied, but also filtered.
</td>
<td>project.xml</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>maven.genapp.template</td>
<td>
Specifies the template to use when generating the application.
If this property is not defined, the user will be prompted with
the default value from property maven.genapp.default.template.
</td>
<td>default</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>maven.genapp.template.dir</td>
<td>
Specifies the template directory to use when generating the application.
Usually set based on the maven.template.repository and maven.genapp.template
chosen. Users can override this property in order to use a custom template
directory. meven.template.repository and maven.genapp.template will then go
unused. This can be useful for other plugins.
</td>
<td>n/a</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>maven.genapp.template.repository</td>
<td>
Specifies a directory that has additional templates. If this property
is not defined, the template will be searched in the local Maven directory
or in the resources of the plugin itself.
</td>
<td>
${maven.home.local}/template
</td>
</tr>

<section name="Application Generation Filter Settings">
<p>
Generating a project from a template a lot of parameters can be useful for the
template depending on the organisation using them. Genapp has some predefined
parameters described in the table below. Each parameter makes usage of some
properties following a naming scheme and can be declared interactive i.e. the
user generating an application from a template will be asked for the parameter's
value. The property maven.genapp.param declares all available parameters for
the filtering. During the project generation the filter uses the properties
that follow the naming scheme maven.genapp.template.&lt;param&gt;. It is always
possible to overwrite these values. The default value is always defined by a
property named maven.genapp.default.&lt;param&gt;. If the value should be
enetered interactive, you can define the prompt with a property
maven.genapp.prompt.&lt;param&gt;. The filter itself is used copying the files
defined by maven.genapp.repackage and maven.genapp.filter and will replace any
occurrence of @&lt;PARAM&gt;@ in the files with the value of
maven.genapp.template.&lt;param&gt;.
