> command
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COCOON-2214
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2214
> Project: Cocoon
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: - Build System: Maven, - Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.2, 2.2-dev (Current SVN)
> Reporter: David Legg
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: archetype-catalog.xml
>
>
> Version 2.0.9 (and maybe earlier) of Maven has deprecated the use of the
> archetype:create goal in favour of archetype:generate.
> As of this report the Cocoon Tutorial uses archetype:create in its
> instructions and this causes a warning to be issued when attempting to build
> blocks.
> After discussion on the list it was felt the solution was to start using
> archetype:generate but this changes the behaviour of Maven such that it
> interactively asks for values such as the artifactId and groupId etc.
> Unfortunately, the first question it asks is which archetype you wish to
> build and by default this list is huge and will continue to grow as more
> projects use it.
> Attached to this note is a file which if placed in a suitable location on the
> Cocoon web site could be used to reduce the archetype list to just those
> required for Cocoon (Currently 3 items).
> The Cocoon tutorial would need to be updated to replace the archetype:create
> command to something like the following: -
> mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://[path to
> catalog]/archetype-catalog.xml
> This would generate output similar to the following: -
> [INFO] Scanning for projects...
> [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'archetype'.
> ...
> [INFO] [archetype:generate]
> [INFO] Generating project in Interactive mode
> [INFO] No archetype defined. Using maven-archetype-quickstart
> (org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-quickstart:1.0)
> Choose archetype:
> 1: local -> cocoon-22-archetype-block-plain (Creates an empty Cocoon block)
> 2: local -> cocoon-22-archetype-block (Creates a minimal Cocoon block)
> 3: local -> cocoon-22-archetype-webapp (Creates a web application Cocoon
> block)
> Choose a number: (1/2/3): Choose archetype:
> This should be much more comprehensible to new users.
