Description Denis Anisimov 2014-02-10 12:39:29 UTC 
Maven archetype could have additional properties which are required to generate a project.
If property has no default value then project generation fails.
If means that wizard UI should not allow to proceed if required property is not set and there is no default value.
It's hard to identify what is the reason of the maven generation fail after wizard is closed.

Comment 2 Milos Kleint 2014-02-10 13:03:24 UTC 
The maven output will describe the error in some way:

Property newProjectName is missing. Add -DnewProjectName=someValue

Sure.
But for unexperienced user it doesn't help to identify the problem.
The final result : project is not created and it's not clear what is the cause of this fail: OK, something wrong (may be he will even notice the absence of property).
But there is no exact explanation how it could be fixed.
Those additional properties are not highlighted. It's not obvious that something has been missed in the wizard.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.
