<p>These are standard catalog files which contain information about
Archetypes so that users
can be presented with a list of archetypes from any number of catalogs to
generate new
projects.</p>
+ <p>The Archetype Plugin knows by default its internal catalog. It also
knows
+ about the <code>local</code> and <code>remote<code> catalogs:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>local</code> represents the
<code>~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml</code> catalog file,</li>
+ <li><code>remote</code> represents the
<code>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml</code> catalog file.
+ </ul>
+ <p>The Archetype Plugin can also read catalogs from filesystem/HTTP by
providing the path/URL of a catalog file or
+ of a directory containing an <code>archetype-catalog.xml</code> file.</p>
