Maven 2.0.9 - internal repository - archetype plugin version help
Hello, I'm having difficulties getting the maven-archetype-plug-in to work with an internal repository. The problem seems to be that it cannot locate the RELEASE version of this plugin when given an internal repository. I've copied the error I get to the end of this email together with my settings.xml file. I have tried various configurations and workarounds. I have maven configured to mirrorOf*/mirrorOf which points to my internal repo and I have tried combining this with a profile that uses this mirror for a pluginRepository to no avail. The only workaround which works for me is to specify the fully qualified archetype command which locks down the version of both the archetype plugin and the archetype rather than using the metadata to determine the RELEASE versions: e.g. mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:2.0-alpha-4:create -DartifactId=new-proj -DgroupId=org.mycompany -DpackageId=org.mycompany -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 This is executed in a directory that does not have a pom.xml file. I can get the list of available archetypes from the generate goal if I execute mvn archetype:generate in a directory that has a pom.xml, which defines the plugin and its version as a build dependency, but then it bombs out when I select an archetype because it cannot find the RELEASE version of that archetype (even though it exists in the internal repo). Now, as far as I can see, the metadata in my internal repository matches the metadata in central so I'm struggling to see what's going wrong. I should note that my internal repository is generated by running the archetype and other plugins in an environment with access to central and then I copy the local repo from .m2 into another folder which acts as an internal repository. Does this method not provide appropriate metadata, or is Maven for some reason always going to Central to determine the release version of this plugin? I should note that I have also tried the -DremoteRepositories=file://local-repo-dir flag but this doesn't seem to have much effect. This behavior is consistent in Maven 2.0.9/Archetype plugin 2.0-alpha-4 and Maven 2.1.0-M1. I have read various FAQs and bug reports about this being fixed but I'm still having difficulties so I'd be grateful for some suggestions or a working configuration. Here's the config I've tried thus far: My settings.xml (I get the same failure case when the profile is switched off or commented and have tried both direct/indirect urls in the profile repository url's): mirror idmirrorId/id mirrorOf*/mirrorOf nameHuman Readable Name for this Mirror./name urlfile://C:/local-repo-dir/url /mirror profile idinternal-repo/id repositoriesrepository idcentral-repo/id urlhttp://dummy-url/url !-- urlfile:///C:/local-repo-dir/url -- releases enabledtrue/enabled updatePolicy/ checksumPolicy/ /releases snapshots enabledtrue/enabled updatePolicy/ checksumPolicy/ /snapshots layout/ /repository /repositoriespluginRepositories pluginRepository idcentral-plugin-repo/id urlhttp://dummy-url/url !-- urlfile:///C:/local-repo-dir/url -- releases enabledtrue/enabledupdatePolicy/ checksumPolicy/ /releases snapshots enabledtrue/enabledupdatePolicy/ checksumPolicy//snapshots layout/ /pluginRepository /pluginRepositories/profile Here's the error: -- [INFO] Scanning for projects...[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.[DEBUG] Loading plugin prefixes from group: org.apache.maven.plugins[INFO] org.apache.maven.plugins: checking for updates from central-plugin-repo[DEBUG] repository metadata for: 'org.apache.maven.plugins' could not be found on repository: central-plugin-repo[INFO] org.apache.maven.plugins: checking for updates from central[DEBUG] repository metadata for: 'org.apache.maven.plugins' could not be found on repository: central[DEBUG] Loading plugin prefixes from group: org.codehaus.mojo[INFO] org.codehaus.mojo: checking for updates from central-plugin-repo[DEBUG] repository metadata for: 'org.codehaus.mojo' could not be found on repository: central-plugin-repo[INFO] org.codehaus.mojo: checking for updates from central[DEBUG] repository metadata for: 'org.codehaus.mojo' could not be found on repository: central[INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin: checking for updates from central-plugin-repo[DEBUG] repository metadata for: 'artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin' could not be found on repository: central-plugin-repo[INFO]
Re: Maven 2.0.9 - internal repository - archetype plugin version help
I may be talking out a hole but check this out... The release version along with version range information comes from metadata... if you created your internal repository in a way other than using the deploy plugin then you won't have metadata. If you are copying your local repository aka the artifact cache then you don't have 'maven-metadata.xml' in the correct place. you have cache copies of the metadata named central-maven-metadata.xml... if you only used central to build your local cache then you could just rename centra-maven-metadata... or you could just use a repository manager given you seem to have the requirement for it. hope that helps..
