The repository manager in Maven SVN indexes any repository, so it's a simple Lucene query of: "type:maven-archetype"
If we put an appropriate web front end on that, you could pull down an up to date list at any time. The central repository will have that available very shortly. - Brett On 01/08/06, Don Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Sure, making this part of the plugin is a good idea. However, how would you retrieve a list of all archetypes in all repositories? The other part fo that is you want that list to be able to be easily changeable by anyone so that it stays up to date. If we can solve that problem, I do like the idea of "mvn archetype:wizard" or something to that effect.
