Because i dunno how to forbid prompting behaviour unless the usage

For the old goal names, we can use the default as false instead of

It wasn't a trace - that was the output on the line after selection.
Sory i meant which are the steps for me to reproduce?
mvn archetypeng:create -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
Choose version:
1: 1.0-alpha-4
2: 1.0
Choose a number: (1/2): 3
Confirm archetype selection:
org.apache.maven.archetypes/null
(Y/N) Y: :
(though I did get an IOException in the middle:
IOExceptionjava.io.IOException: The META-INF/maven/archetype.xml
descriptor cannot be found.)
The descriptor is first searched there, maybe the Exception should
not be
visible.
Agreed.

Aren't there conventions that can be followed that would mean the
archetype descriptor can be generated with sensible defaults? I think
that would be a good way to go.
Do you mean some use case like this?
an archetype project without the descriptor
where the descriptor is generated before package phase.
But only when the descriptor is absent.
If I look at the 'maven-archetypeng-start' archetype, I think you
could assume *.java are templates, with src/main being the main group
and src/test being the test group, so you can 'guess' all the
archetype descriptor settings from the defaults. Does that make sense?
The descriptor which reside in the archetype's artifact is used
for generating a project from that archetype.
The descriptor is created by the create-from-project goal
(or by hand)
During the time the archetype is created from a project (or by hand)
and the time it is uploaded as a jar, the descriptor is only a
resource.
I hope this answer your question (if not, maybe i don't have
understood the
question)
I think I may be confused too - I'll take a look at the
implementation and let you know if I still think there's a problem :)
Probably easiest to look at some existing Maven code and try
reformatting it, then adjusting your settings until the reformat
keeps it as it was :) If you could share the netbeans settings for
that, that'd be great!
Netbeans settings can't be shared, the formatting for xml is poor
enough
just the tab vs space and space size of indent.
Thought they'd fixed that in more recent versions :(
Nope move the list in the "registry"
the file at ~/.m2/archetype.xml is what i call the registry.
It currently holds the list of archetype groups, the list of
repositories
wher to find archetypes,
the list of languages and the list of filtered extensions.
Isn't that a problem if two different people with different settings
files try to use the goal in the same way and get different results?
So just take the code, i will not do anything untill tomorrow.
Then i will use svn switch...
Process is a bit longer than that - but we'll move towards that.
Cheers,
Brett
