Hi Kevin,
What you've said is correct, however I think that Mark wants to just running the archetype without building the source himself, ie as documented on our quickstart page [1]. I've uploaded a snapshot of Isis onto the Apache snapshot repo, so it shouldn't be necessary for him to do a local build of Isis itself.

Hi Mark,
That said, not sure why this isn't working for you. I've just tried the command on a dev machine here at work with a fresh install of mvn, and it's worked fine. But that doesn't help you!

Previously we've had a couple of people having issues in reading the archetype-catalog.xml file [2], because the documentation used to say to use to use 'https' rather than 'http'. Looking inside this file itself, I see that its references to the snapshot repos also use 'https'. So I've just updated itto use 'http', just in case your network is such that you can't get at that URL. I also noticed a syntax error in the namespace declarations of that file, which might have been an issue.

At any rate, changes to that file will be pushed out in the next few hours. Let us know how you get on.

Thx
Dan

Hi Mark,

I'm not at my dev machine now, but, working from memory, I think the
quickstart archetype is not installed automatically.

You should be able to install it manually by going into the
quickstart-archetype directory and doing a:
mvn clean install

This assumes that you've already installed the Isis framework to
your local repository ("mvn clean install" in the trunk directory).

Regards,
Kevin

Hi there,

Please forgive what is a very basic question.


When I attempt to create the quick start application using:

mvn archetype:generate -D
archetypeCatalog=http://incubator.apache.org/isis -D
archetypeGroupId=org.apache.isis.support -D
archetypeArtifactId=quickstart-archetype

I get a failure with:
mvn archetype:generate -D archetypeCatalog=http://incubator.apache.o
rg/isis -D archetypeGroupId=org.apache.isis.support -D
archetypeArtifactId=quick
start-archetype
