Friends, Following the recent refactoring that the Lift archetypes went though, we have moved forward to the new archetype metadata format [1] for all the archetypes.
So far, the JPA related archetypes were using the new metadata format while the others (esp. lift-archetype-blank and lift-archetype-basic) were still on the old format. Moving to the new metadata format helps us keep things consistent, comply with Maven's recommendation and open the archetypes up for additional future enhancements. >From now on, the recommended Maven goal to generate projects from archetype is to use "archetype:generate" [2]. The currently deprecated Maven goal "archetype:create" [3] would not work to give expected result and thus is not recommended anymore. Therefore, to generate project from the archetypes in the master you would use a command of the form: mvn archetype:generate \ -DarchetypeRepository=http://scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots \ -DremoteRepositories=http://scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots \ -DarchetypeGroupId=net.liftweb \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=lift-archetype-blank \ -DarchetypeVersion=1.1-SNAPSHOT \ -DgroupId=com.mypackage \ -DartifactId=myproject \ -Dversion=1.0-SNAPSHOT Currently, the possible archetypeArtifactId are: - lift-archetype-blank - lift-archetype-basic - lift-archetype-jpa-blank-single - lift-archetype-jpa-blank - lift-archetype-jpa-basic If you create project interactively (default behavior), -DgroupId, - DartifactId, -Dversion are optional. Maven would prompt for these values (and some more) interactively. On the other hand, if you are using a batch/shell script to generate project non-interactively, you would need to add at least -DgroupId, - DartifactId and additionally set -DinteractiveMode=false.
