Description

Our archetype is hosted internally in the company repository.
Our settings.xml contains profiles with the internal repository locations.

I mkdir C:\temp\archtest
I execute mvn archetype:create -D.... etc
I get "could not download archetype ... from central

Next I put a valid pom.xml in the working dir
I execute mvn archetype:create -D etc
I get an expected error since the directory is not empty, but now if I check my local repository the archetype is downloaded from the company repository. !! Why wasn't it found until a pom.xml is in the directory?
Now I delete the pom.xml
Now I can build sucessfully.

It would appear the profiles where we define our repositories are not being used until the pom.xml is available. But even mvn -P archetype:create doesn't resolve the issue.

This is a known issue in maven not using profile repositories in settings as I've learned since opening this jira. A close duplicate: ARCHETYPE-89

"A workaround is usable: the archetype:add-repositories goal
that takes -DrepositoryId=central and -DrepositoryUrl=http://repo1.maven.org/maven2 properties
or -Drepositories=central=http://repo1.maven.org/maven2,company1=http://repo1.company.com property"

I am tempted to close this issue as a duplicate, but will leave it for now in case any comitters are tracking from it.

Hi Tim,

could you please try with the new archetype:generate goal using
the 2.0-alpha-4 version of the plugin, to see if it is not to be closed
by obsolescence.

Hi Raphaël,

I didn't leave you with no reply. I was hoping to get to this this week. I may get to it this weekend, but next week is more likely. Will let you know. Thank you

FYI - I tested with 2.0.9 and I no longer have the issue. Mickaël can you try with a 2.0.9 installation and confirm?
