Document how to generate a project from archetype with authenticated repository
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-206
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-206
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-4
Reporter: Javier Diaz
When the archetypes are in a password protected repository you can't download
the archetype unless repository authentication information is specified in the
settings.xml file, as follows:
<server>
<id><archetype name>-repo</id>
<username>myuser</username>
<password>XXXXXX</password>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<configuration></configuration>
</server>
And the command should be invoked with the archetypeRepository option as
follows:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=mygroup \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=<archetype-name> \
-DarchetypeVersion=XXXXX -DgroupId=com.abc \
-DartifactId=dummy \
-Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT \
-DarchetypeRepository=http://www.abc.com/maven2 \
