Hi folks, I answered that the mirrorOf element in settings is mandatory, as it behave such. But reading the http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd It seems that any element in settings/mirrors/mirror ain't mandatory. Which resulted in the described problem in the issue.
Here the problem on which i need some understanding of the settings.xml. I checked in archetype code, the only reference to mirrors is in the GenerationRequest file. But it is never used. Please comment and let me know what you think about.
