Description

the default repository location is $HOME/.m2/repository but this is also used as the the default place to create the new archetype-catalog.xml file.
The archetype-catalog.xml should be created in $HOME/.m2 instead.

The default location is not $HOME/.m2/repository, but it is in the same directory as the one crawled.

The purpose for this default value is that the crawl mojo aims to be used to maintain repositories HTTP accessible.

It is probably the default location for the local catalog that should be modified.

Is this a possibility to change the default location for the local catalog?

My inclination is to run archetype:crawl and then archetype:generate and see the results of the crawl - but since crawl and generate are looking in different locations locally I'd assumed there was a bug.

Yes.

There are two methods to do this:

1. mvn archetype:crawl -Dcatalog=/home/username/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml ; mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=local

or

2. mvn archetype:crawl ; mvn arhetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=file:///home/username/.m2/repository/archetype-catalog.xml
