Thomas Repnik commented on ARCHETYPE-572:
-----------------------------------------
This issue can be closed:
The problem was that we had in the mirror "*". Therefore the architype
repository was not respected. Maybe a hint in the documentation about this
would save some people a lot of time (and nerves ;) )
My Solution:
{code:xml}
<mirrorOf>*,!archetype</mirrorOf>
{code}
> Archetype Repository not set early enough
> -----------------------------------------

> Key: ARCHETYPE-572
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARCHETYPE-572
> Project: Maven Archetype
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.1.0, 3.1.1
> Reporter: Thomas Repnik
> Priority: Major
>
> As of archetype 3.0 it is not possible anymore to specify the repository via
> the command line (with {{_-DarchetypeRepository_}}). But there is an option
> with specifiying a special "archetype" repository in settings.xml.
> After migrating from 2.4 to 3.x we found out that the whole archetype process
> takes minutes instead of seconds! The reason for that is, that 3.x always
> tries to download the whole archetype-catalog.xml from our public repository.
> It seems the following Code in archetype 3.x is buggy:
> {code:java}
> //FILE: DefaultArchetypeSelector.java:selectArchetype:67
> if ( definition.isDefined() && StringUtils.isNotEmpty(
> request.getArchetypeRepository() ) )
> {
> //There is no way this lines ever get called
> getLogger().info( "Archetype defined by properties" );
> return;
> }
> //This method call is very expensive. It can take minutes.
> Map<String, List<Archetype>> archetypes = getArchetypesByCatalog(
> request.getProjectBuildingRequest(), catalogs );
> ...
> {code}
> _request.getArchetypeRepository()_ is always NULL, because in archetype 3.x
> the property was removed and the archetype repository (in settings.xml) will
> be set much later.
> Therefore the expensive lookup _getArchetypesByCatalog_ can not be prevented.
> Due to this archetype 3.x is unusable now because every usage will take
> minutes in our case.
