Hi Dan
I dropped the archetypeCatalog property from my maven build and when I run:
mvn archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.isis.support \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=quickstart-archetype
I end up with a standard empty Maven project because Maven doesn't resolve the
archetype from my local repo.
After a couple of attempts I found the following worked:
mvn -o archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.isis.support \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=quickstart-archetype \
-DarchetypeVersion=0.1.2-incubating-SNAPSHOT \
-DarchetypeRepository=/Users/andrewmoores/development/applications/maven/repository
The archetypeVersion is required. It could be that I need to specify the
archetypeRepository because I'm using a non-standard location for my local repo.
So, happy days. I've built locally, created the archetype and then created an
example project from my local build of the archetype. The following modules
were created:
dom
fixture
objstore-default
quickrun
tests-bdd
tests-junit
viewer-html
viewer-restful
viewer-scimpi
viewer-wicket
I did note that if you run this without the -o option you get the following
info messages:
[INFO] Unable to find resource
'org.apache.isis.support:quickstart-archetype:jar:0.1.2-incubating-SNAPSHOT' in
repository quickstart-archetype-repo
(/Users/andrewmoores/development/applications/maven/repository)
[INFO] Unable to find resource
'org.apache.isis.support:quickstart-archetype:pom:0.1.2-incubating-SNAPSHOT' in
repository quickstart-archetype-repo
(/Users/andrewmoores/development/applications/maven/repository)
But it still creates a new Isis project.
Regards
Andrew
