[jira] Created: (ARCHETYPE-193) Description of requiredProperty

Description of requiredProperty
-------------------------------

                 Key: ARCHETYPE-193
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-193
             Project: Maven Archetype
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Generator
    Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-3
         Environment: windows xp sp2; java sun 1.6.0_07; maven 2.0.9
            Reporter: Marcelo Romulo Fernandes


Could we show a description of the requiredProperty to the user instead of their name at generator prompt?
I think it could be more user friendly! I have to provide an extra readme.txt to explain how to use the requiredProperties.
