Description

like pom.xml and settings.xml, i would like to see archetype.xml have an xml schema. not only does it provide quick validation, but it is useful for auto-completion in xml editors. it could also have applications in the maven-archetype-plugin because jaxb can provide quick-and-easy unmarshalling.

i have included a schema constructed to match the description found in http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html . it has been attached with a diagram of the structure for those not familiar with schema syntax. it's pretty simple.

what you expect as archetype-metadata is published as archetype-descriptor: see ARCHETYPE-237
