Cannot use "-DarchetypeRepository" if you have <mirrors> * in your settings.xml file ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-176 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-176 Project: Maven Archetype Issue Type: Bug Components: Creator, Generator Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-3 Environment: Java 6 Maven 2.0.9 Reporter: Jeff Campbell I'm using the following command to create a new project from a custom archetype from a 3rd party Maven repo (only the relevant portion of the command is below): mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeRepository=http://somehost.com/mvnrepo .....(other -D params for thecustom archetype)... But, because I have the following in my settings.xml file, I cannot access the repository specified by the "-DarchetypeRepository": <mirrors> <mirror> <id>my.nexus</id> <name> Nexus Mirror</name> <url>http://somehost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public</url> <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf> </mirror> </mirrors> Work around(s): 1. Don't use <mirrors> section all together in the settings.xml file. 2. List every single possible maven repo site mirror, in Nexus, that I can possibly think of to hopefully cover every possible custom archetype that will ever be used?
