Description
I deployed a snapshot of the archetype and create isn't finding it even though i have the maven-snapshot repo in my settings. A secondary problem is that if nothing is found, you get into an infinite loop where it asks you to pick a number that isn't there.

About the 'other goal':
4 lists of configuration are located in the registry (~/.m2/archetype.xml);
They contain the groupIds, the repositories, the languages and the filtereds:
- groupIds are used for prompting the user
- repositories are used to retrieve the maven metadatas to propose the archetype and version selection
- languages are directory names that contains 'packaged' sources and used during the create-from-project
- filtered are file extensions that are used to separate velocity templates from binary files and used during create-from-project
Some goals are provided to administer the registry file.
There is add-Xs, remove-Xs, show-Xs for each of the 4 lists in the registry.
Of course one can still edit that file by hands 
These mojos exist since late april but not documented
About the settings reading,
When i started, i used the repositories defined in the project, thinking the repositories defined in profiles in settings would be used. But they weren't.
I also desired to have the settings holds archetype groups like it holds the plugins groups. but it was too much change for the plugin only archetypeng was at this time.
I then decided to create the registry file to contains these 2 configuration lists. And when i wrote create-from-project, i used the registry to hold 2 more configuration lists. Hence the other goals.
About the repositories in settings.
There is a maven issue (can remember which exactly) that state that
repositories defined in profiles in settings are not usable in a directory
that doesn't contain a pom. therefore the archetype plugin can't use it...
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
About the infinite loop, It is a bug
