Maven Generating Archetype getting package variable as directory format

I'm looking to make an archetype and I'm having difficulty making the created pom.xml have the values I need it to.

I have: 

<properties>
    <domain-objects-location> ${groupId}/domain </domain-objects-location>
    ...
</properties>

in my pom.xml template, and I get "com.mycompany.app" where groupID is.

However I want "com/mycompany/app" to be there.

Any suggestions on how to get that? Thanks.

UPDATE:

As I linked below, there is a special property for doing just this.

<domain-objects-location>${packageInPathFormat}/domain</domain-objects-location>

is what gives me the desired output I was looking for. I'm not sure why this doesn't show up on https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-model/maven.html or somewhere else obvious in the documentation. But it does work.

Solution

    But, http://geekofficedog.blogspot.com/2013/08/creating-maven-archetypes-tutorial.html shows 

    ${packageInPathFormat}

    As the property value I was looking for to get the 'package in path format'. And it works.
