[jira] Commented: (COCOON-2214) Update C22 block building process through use of Maven archetype:generate command
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2214?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanelfocusedCommentId=12607119#action_12607119 ] David Legg commented on COCOON-2214: The Maven group have responded. By default if you don't specify the name of the archetype catalog file then the archetype plugin tacks the name on the end of the URL you give. This is excellent news because it simplifies the command required to build a Cocoon block still further and it works with the existing version of the plugin (2.0 alpha-3). I have updated the documentation http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/cdocs/g2/g2/g2/1159.html on the Daisy site. I'll let you check it over and transfer it to the live site at your leisure. Update C22 block building process through use of Maven archetype:generate command - Key: COCOON-2214 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2214 Project: Cocoon Issue Type: Improvement Components: - Build System: Maven, - Documentation Affects Versions: 2.2, 2.2-dev (Current SVN) Reporter: David Legg Assignee: Grzegorz Kossakowski Priority: Minor Attachments: archetype-catalog.xml Version 2.0.9 (and maybe earlier) of Maven has deprecated the use of the archetype:create goal in favour of archetype:generate. As of this report the Cocoon Tutorial uses archetype:create in its instructions and this causes a warning to be issued when attempting to build blocks. After discussion on the list it was felt the solution was to start using archetype:generate but this changes the behaviour of Maven such that it interactively asks for values such as the artifactId and groupId etc. Unfortunately, the first question it asks is which archetype you wish to build and by default this list is huge and will continue to grow as more projects use it. Attached to this note is a file which if placed in a suitable location on the Cocoon web site could be used to reduce the archetype list to just those required for Cocoon (Currently 3 items). The Cocoon tutorial would need to be updated to replace the archetype:create command to something like the following: - mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://[path to catalog]/archetype-catalog.xml This would generate output similar to the following: - [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'. ... [INFO] [archetype:generate] [INFO] Generating project in Interactive mode [INFO] No archetype defined. Using maven-archetype-quickstart (org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0) Choose archetype: 1: local - cocoon-22-archetype-block-plain (Creates an empty Cocoon block) 2: local - cocoon-22-archetype-block (Creates a minimal Cocoon block) 3: local - cocoon-22-archetype-webapp (Creates a web application Cocoon block) Choose a number: (1/2/3): Choose archetype: This should be much more comprehensible to new users. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

I began updating the documentation but then ran into a problem. It seems Maven can't handle remote archetype catalogs yet after all. I naturally assumed that since it handled the file:// protocol it would also handle http:// protocol but it mangles the URL. I've raised a report on the Maven JIRA (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-124) and we'll see how it goes. One work around is to download the file from the server and then use the file:// protocol. I've tested that and it works.

It should contain Apache header but since you have attached it as contribution that's not a show-stopper. 2. Versions listed in the file are SNAPSHOT ones coming from building the Cocoon from trunk. That's a mistake as other people won't be able to use them because SNAPSHOTs are never released to central repository. Here you can consult versions of Cocoon artifacts that has been released: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/cocoon/ 3. The description of archetypes is little bit misleading. The best option is to borrow them from http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/maven-plugins/ Even though I can fix those myself I'll have time for this tomorrow. If you don't mind upload improved file please so it'll faster get uploaded.
