So I just ran 'mvn archetype:generate' and it's not finding that goal. So I
download version 2.0-alpha5 from here:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/2.0-alpha-5
by simply adding the following POM snippet in a pom.xml and running 'mvn
clean install'.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-archetype-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-alpha-5</version>
</dependency>
Now when I run this cmd:
C:\Documents and Settings\asookazian\My
Documents\ubuntu_projects.tar\projects>m
vn help:describe -DgroupId=org.apache.maven.plugins
-DartifactId=maven-archetype
-plugin -Dversion=2.0-alpha-5 -Dmedium=true
the generate goal is listed.
But when I run 'mvn archetype:generate' again, it can't find the generate
goal. This means Maven is using a different version of the plugin in my
local repo (I have three).
How does Maven know which version to use when you exec 'mvn
archetype:generate' or any other goal for a plugin?
I would imagine it should be the latest version. How would I change which
version I want it to use when I issue the cmd? thx.
