Ah dammit! This is indeed my bad in the documentation. And on this one I thought I checked and checked and checked again, sorry, I missed it.
The packaging for an archetype should be JAR - and not MAVEN- ARCHETYPE. I don't recall now where I got that packaging type, but it WAS in the archetype instructions or was generated for me by the archetype:create command or something. Since that packaging is what the archetype actually IS (http://gwt-maven.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/maven- googlewebtoolkit2-archetype/pom.xml) that's what I put in the instructions. But it turns out that screws things up. Watching this as it goes: charliecollins$ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.totsp.gwt - DartifactId=maven-googlewebtoolkit2-archetype -Dversion=1.0 - Dpackaging=maven-archetype -Dfile=./maven-googlewebtoolkit2- archetype-1.0.jar [INFO] [install:install-file] [INFO] Installing /opt/projects/./maven-googlewebtoolkit2- archetype-1.0.jar to /Users/charliecollins/.m2/repository/com/totsp/ gwt/maven-googlewebtoolkit2-archetype/1.0/maven-googlewebtoolkit2- archetype-1.0.maven-archetype Note there that it installed a file NAMED "maven-googlewebtoolkit2- archetype-1.0.maven-archetype" - that is wrong, you don't want that. After switching it to JAR it installs properly, and you end up with a jar in your repo, and then the archetype command itself works fine. I will test some more and update the instructions in the docs. On Sep 27, 7:41 am, Charlie Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry it's giving you so much trouble.
