Hello Indrajitr, When using archetype:generate without the command line args, why does it not build the latest release of the archetype? I saw that 1.1-M8 is in central but the version it builds uses lift-core 0.8.
I'm not 100% on how it chooses the archetype version from the normal selection menu but it would be nice to get something relatively more up to date. Sorry if this is discussed elsewhere.
