We are pleased to announce the Maven Genapp Plugin 2.1 release! 

http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/genapp/

A collection of example projects showing how to use maven in different 
situations 

===============================================================================

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Support of configuration files in the template starting with a dot (e.g. 
  .cvsignore). 
o Add property maven.genapp.template.repository to support a user-defined 
  location for own templates. This allows a CVS-based template management for 
  a company. 
o Add property maven.genapp.template.user to support the user's account name 
  in the filter with @USER@. The default value is the system property 
  user.name. 
o Support user-defined parameters for filtering. 

  Fixed bugs:

o Fix usage of explicit template provided with the property 
  maven.genapp.template.dir. Suppress question for template name, since it is 
  implicit. 
o Fix usage of a comma-separated string as value for property 
  maven.genapp.filter to define multiple files. 

  Changes:

o Update and improve documentation for properties.
