Hi, I've just started working with our own archetypes, so very possible that I am missing something here:
1) We created a new archetype and "mvn install" -ed it to local. 2) Went to ~/.m2 (on Windows) and ran "mvn archetype:crawl". This created archetype-catalog.xml in the sub-directory "repository". 3) Ran "mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local", but could not locate the archetype. 4) Noticed that the documenation here<http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/generate-mojo.html#archetypeCatalog>suggests that -DarchetypeCatalog=local is a synonym for file://~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml (i.e. not file://~/.m2/*repository*/archetype-catalog.xml . 5) Moved archetype-catalog.xml up one folder and everything is fine - archetype:generate finds the catalog. So do archetype:crawl and archetype:generate have different expectations on where archetype-catalog.xml should live, and is this expected? Thanks Brett
