Description

When the archetypes are in a password protected repository you can't download the archetype unless repository authentication information is specified in the settings.xml file, as follows:

<server>
  <id><archetype name>-repo</id>
  <username>myuser</username>
  <password>XXXXXX</password>
  <filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
  <directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
  <configuration></configuration>
</server>

And the command should be invoked with the archetypeRepository option as follows:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=mygroup \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=<archetype-name> \
-DarchetypeVersion=XXXXX -DgroupId=com.abc \
-DartifactId=dummy \
-Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT \
-DarchetypeRepository=http://www.abc.com/maven2

there should be also an option to specify the repositoryId explicitly, I wouldn't want to add a temporary entry in settings.xml every time I download a new archetype... also archetype name means archetypeArtifactId?
