Say does anybody have an explanation of what
<pre>
<blockquote>
<!--
Allows archetype:create to be
called on an existing project.
-->
<allowPartial>true</allowPartial>
</blockquote>
</pre>
does in the archetype.xml file? I read that it has something to do
with running two archetypes (using archetype:create) on the same
project. But what does it do?
Thank you,
