David Legg commented on COCOON-2214:
------------------------------------
The Maven group have responded. By default if you don't specify the name of
the archetype catalog file then the archetype plugin tacks the name on the end
of the URL you give.
This is excellent news because it simplifies the command required to build a
Cocoon block still further and it works with the existing version of the plugin
(2.0 alpha-3).
I have updated the documentation
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/cdocs/g2/g2/g2/1159.html on the Daisy
site. I'll let you check it over and transfer it to the live site at your
leisure.
> Update C22 block building process through use of Maven archetype:generate

> Key: COCOON-2214
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2214
> Project: Cocoon
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: - Build System: Maven, - Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.2, 2.2-dev (Current SVN)
> Reporter: David Legg
> Assignee: Grzegorz Kossakowski
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: archetype-catalog.xml
>
>
> Version 2.0.9 (and maybe earlier) of Maven has deprecated the use of the
> archetype:create goal in favour of archetype:generate.
> As of this report the Cocoon Tutorial uses archetype:create in its
> instructions and this causes a warning to be issued when attempting to build
> blocks.
> After discussion on the list it was felt the solution was to start using
> archetype:generate but this changes the behaviour of Maven such that it
> interactively asks for values such as the artifactId and groupId etc.
> Unfortunately, the first question it asks is which archetype you wish to
> build and by default this list is huge and will continue to grow as more
> projects use it.
> Attached to this note is a file which if placed in a suitable location on the
> Cocoon web site could be used to reduce the archetype list to just those
> required for Cocoon (Currently 3 items).
> The Cocoon tutorial would need to be updated to replace the archetype:create
> command to something like the following: -
> mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://[path to
> catalog]/archetype-catalog.xml
> This would generate output similar to the following: -
> [INFO] Scanning for projects...
> [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.
> ...
> [INFO] [archetype:generate]
> [INFO] Generating project in Interactive mode
> [INFO] No archetype defined. Using maven-archetype-quickstart
> (org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0)
> Choose archetype:
> 1: local -> cocoon-22-archetype-block-plain (Creates an empty Cocoon block)
> 2: local -> cocoon-22-archetype-block (Creates a minimal Cocoon block)
> 3: local -> cocoon-22-archetype-webapp (Creates a web application Cocoon
> block)
> Choose a number: (1/2/3): Choose archetype:
> This should be much more comprehensible to new users.
