Grek,
The only missing thing is the actual archetype catalog XML file.
David, would you like to prepare own? I'm not sure how archetype
plug-in supports this file generation but even if support is bad you
could always prepare the catalog by hand (fortunately enough, the list
is not long for us).
I've generated the archetype catalog. I've attached it to this email.
It wasn't too difficult... just had to run "mvn archetype:crawl" and it
placed the new file in my local repository
([MAVEN_REPO]/.m2/repository/archetype-catalog.xml). I then edited this
manually to change the order of the archetypes listed from simplest to
most complex and added some human understandable descriptions. I've
confirmed that the following command works with a local copy of the
catalog: -
mvn archetype:generate
-DarchetypeCatalog=file://c:\temp\archetype-catalog.xml
and generates the following interactive questions: -
[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:
There is a caveat though. I noticed on the Maven bug list [3] that some
earlier versions of the plugin didn't handle local or remote catalog
files. However this seems to have been fixed in the 2.0 alpha-3 version.
So if someone would place this file on the site and update the
documentation page we should be good to go. I registered on the Cocoon
documentation site [2] to see if I could update the pages myself but
quickly discovered this doesn't let me actually create or edit the
documentation :-(
Of course this file will have to be updated from time to time.
I have a feeling that Reinhard Pötz is our man for this ;-) He authored
the Maven archetype plugin list [2]. This page isn't easy to find so
there should at least be a link to it from the tutorial pages.
Regards,
David Legg
