Stefan Egli commented on SLING-3102:
------------------------------------
we need to give the unfamiliar user some help here - it seems like m2eclipse
(or for that matter maven)'s handling of archetypes is slightly non intuitive.
From what I understand:
* m2eclipse maintains a list of archetype catalogs. By default the list
contains three entries: internal, local and remote. The user can add additional
ones.
* without any further ado, m2eclipse doesn't notice new archetypes being
generated in public repositories (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
* hence it seems like we need to kick maven/m2eclipse to update the archetype
catalogs to find new published archetypes (like the one we have in granite)
* the current way to deal with this fact in slingclipse is to install an
embedded version of the archetype in the local repository - this is probably
not what we want in the final version..
* another way would be to trigger a 'crawl' using the following maven command:
mvn archetype:crawl -Dcatalog=/home/<me>/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml
(see
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/635543/what-are-the-urls-of-all-the-maven-archetype-catalogs-that-you-know-about)
this regenerates the local (ie ~/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml) and should learn
from any configured repository.
I doubt that there is an API in m2eclipse which allows an archetype:crawl
command - so it's probably up to issuing a 'raw' maven command here..
The whole thing could be an optional step in the 'new sling project' wizard, in
case the archetype does not show up properly as expected.
wdyt?
