ant elder commented on ARCHETYPE-200:
-------------------------------------
I also agree its counter intuitive like this, and having it prompt for the first time surely must be what most users would want and expect. I'd hunted and debugged this for hours before finding this jira and finding that it is possible to change the default value by answering N to the final confirmation prompt, that seems _really_ obscure. If it really is wanted by some wouldn't it be better to have a separate option to disable the initial prompting?

> It seems that if a requiredProperty is defined with a defaultValue, the generate mojo does not ask user input. In my opinion it should, just like it does it for the version.
> DefaultArchetypeFactory lines 156-168 seem to be the culprit and I'll attach a patch that might fix this.
