Ability to define default values for properties defined multiple times

[pun-ky]

There is no way to elegantly define default value for e.g projectGroup. Consider new DSL:

fork {
    config {
        cloneFiles()
        moveFiles([
                "/com/company/x/example": "/{{projectGroup|substitute('.', '/')}}/{{projectName}}",
                "/example": "/{{projectName}}"
        ])
        replaceContents([
                "com.company.x.example": "{{projectGroup}}.{{projectName}}",
                'com.company.x': "{{projectGroup}}",
                "Example": "{{projectLabel}}",
                "example": "{{projectName}}",
        ])
        defineProperties([
                property "projectGroup", "com.company.x"
                property "projectLabel", "Example",
                property "projectName", "example" 

                /* below mostly expected :)
                property "projectName",  { 
                    defaultValue = "example"
                    validator = { !it.value('projectGroup').contains(it.value)) } 
                }
                */
               property "libVersion", { // that property will be used in some template file, not in above sections directly
                    defaultValue = "1.0.0"
                    radio ['1.0.0', '2.00', '3.0.0''] // GUI control type 'radio' instead of default 'textfield'
                    required()
                }
        ])
    }
}

consider implementing more nice GUI controls when providing capability to define type of placeholder, validator, default value and possible options (e.g for radio)

alternative syntax / DSL

fork {
    config /* 'default', */ { 
        cloneFiles()
        moveFiles([
                "/com/company/app/example": "/{{projectGroup|substitute('.', '/')}}/{{projectName}}",
                "/example": "/{{projectName}}"
        ])
        replaceContents([
                "com.company.app.example": "{{projectGroup}}.{{projectName}}",
                'com.company.app': "{{projectGroup}}",
                "Example": "{{projectLabel}}",
                "example": "{{projectName}}",
        ])
        defineProperties([
                "projectGroup": {
                    defaultValue = "com.company"
                    required()
                },
                "projectName": {
                    defaultValue = "example"
                    validator = { 
                        if (value('projectGroup').contains(value)) {
                            error("Project name cannot contain project group.")
                        }}
                    } 
                }
        ])
    }
    inPlaceConfig 'setup', {
        copyTemplateFile("gradle.properties")
    }
}
